For me, using stripe 2 and not in depth testing at the time (a few weeks ago with the new RDMA code merged), I was getting good write performance (500MB/s) but very bad read performance (80-90MB/s). That was just on two initial gluster boxes, with the volume mounted to a third one. The volumes were RDMA only. The 80-90MS/s figure seems awfully similar to GigE kind of line speed though, so I wonder if something was somehow sending the data down the wrong link. (no idea, might not be) I plan on looking at this stuff properly again in a while, but want to get a proper multi-node regression testing suite set up and working first (so we can all use it). Maybe based on Autotest or similar (not sure yet). Not sure if this info all helps... ;) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Open Source and Standards @ Red Hat twitter.com/realjustinclift
