Linux, I suppose? A few aspects of your setup makes the comparison unfair - 1. Since you run untar on the local file system on a physical server, the is a possibility to see the effect of write caching. 2. Since glusterfs is working on VMs, the comparison of its performance with that on a physical server is not fair. 3. The VMs are hosted on a system with low network bandwidth. 4. The IO throughput inside a VM is limited by the throughput of the host file system, in this case - a Windows filesystem (NTFS) ? What is the amount of RAM on the Windows system hosting the VMs? Pavan PS: Adding gluster-users. The discussion might help others. > > Regards, > Anish Kumar >
