I'm running 6x 37TB Gluster nodes in distribute-replicate with software bonded 10GbE NICs (using Mode 2 balance-xor) per cluster, on 4 clusters (24 nodes all up across 2 sites). With 10GbE NICs, we don't see much speed boost out of the bonding, but there's a good per-client latency drop when network traffic gets busy. CentOS6 on the Gluster nodes, Kubuntu 12.04 on Linux clients (along with some Mac and Windows boxes in the mix). -Dan ---------------- Dan Mons R&D SysAdmin Unbreaker of broken things Cutting Edge http://cuttingedge.com.au On 6 December 2013 06:16, Nux! <nux@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 05.12.2013 19:07, Josh Boon wrote: >> >> We're using it in production too.
