AFAIK, GlusterFS performance depends mostly on network latency -> Ethernet vs. Infiniband The high latency of a WAN connection will make every (uncached) file or metadata access very slow, compared to a local network. > Also, how to make the writes asynchronuous for data center replication? > > We have a requirement to replicate data to other data center as well. If you want to DIY: http://fak3r.com/geek/howto-build-your-own-open-source-dropbox-clone/ http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/ might be an option... Disclaimer: I have not tried a setup like that yet, I don't know if it would work with two GlusterFS-mountpoints. regards, Harald St?rzebecher
