Forgot to mention: on a client system (not a brick) the glusterfs process is consuming ~ 68% CPU continuously. This is a much less powerful desktop system so the CPU load can't be compared 1:1 with the systems comprising the bricks but still very high. So the issue seems to exist with both glusterfsd and glusterfs processes. Thanks, ~Mike C.

I was able to build, start, mount, and use the volume. On each system contributing a brick, however, my CPU usage (glusterfsd) is hovering around 20% (virtually zero memory usage thankfully). These are brand new, fairly beefy servers so 20% CPU load is quite a bit. The deployment is pretty plain with each brick mounting the volume to itself via a glusterfs mount. I assume this type of CPU usage is atypically high; is there anything I can do to investigate what's soaking up CPU and minimize it? Total usable volume size is only about 22 TB (about 45 TB total with 2x replicate). Thanks, ~Mike C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
