Hi, I am new to gluster and have looked all over on how to tune gluster for rrd files and have come up empty. I have a default install of gluster and am using the fuse client. The issue is the performance of rrd updates are very slow. here are the test I ran one on the physical box and one from the clients. ---------------physical Create 10 rrds 3 c/s (0.00125 sdv) Update 10 rrds 37672 u/s (0.00001 sdv) Create 10 rrds 3 c/s (0.00046 sdv) Update 20 rrds 40358 u/s (0.00001 sdv) Create 20 rrds 2 c/s (0.00094 sdv) Update 40 rrds 40088 u/s (0.00001 sdv) Create 40 rrds 2 c/s (0.00190 sdv) Update 80 rrds 39761 u/s (0.00002 sdv) Create 80 rrds 2 c/s (0.00377 sdv) Update 160 rrds 38989 u/s (0.00003 sdv) Create 160 rrds 2 c/s (0.00761 sdv) Update 320 rrds 37603 u/s (0.00005 sdv) Create 320 rrds 2 c/s (0.01529 sdv) Update 640 rrds 35122 u/s (0.00007 sdv) Create 640 rrds 1 c/s (0.03026 sdv) Update 1280 rrds 30607 u/s (0.00011 sdv) Create 1280 rrds 1 c/s (0.05992 sdv) Update 2560 rrds 20996 u/s (0.00019 sdv) ---------------clients Create 10 rrds 1 c/s (0.06533 sdv) Update 10 rrds 202 u/s (0.00083 sdv) Create 10 rrds 1 c/s (0.03981 sdv) Update 20 rrds 194 u/s (0.00107 sdv) Create 20 rrds 2 c/s (0.41479 sdv) Update 40 rrds 182 u/s (0.00154 sdv) Create 40 rrds 2 c/s (0.12405 sdv) Update 80 rrds 171 u/s (0.00144 sdv) Create 80 rrds 1 c/s (0.27594 sdv) Update 160 rrds 159 u/s (0.00230 sdv) Create 160 rrds 1 c/s (0.29361 sdv) Update 320 rrds 125 u/s (0.00273 sdv) Create 320 rrds 2 c/s (0.29585 sdv) Update 640 rrds 110 u/s (0.00558 sdv) Create 640 rrds 1 c/s (0.28813 sdv) Update 1280 rrds 114 u/s (0.00362 sdv) Create 1280 rrds 1 c/s (0.28959 sdv) Update 2560 rrds 110 u/s (0.00719 sdv) a little information about the setup. I am running rhel 6.3 on the gluster server and 6.4 on the clients with a 10 gig network between the boxes. any help would be great. I know there has to be something I can tune to get closer to speeds to the physical box. Thanks, Pete
