Hi all,
I am currently working on my bachelor thesis, and using glusterfs between
frontend servers that are connected to backend slow storage.
The frontend servers have a SSD cache and are iSCSI initiators to the slow
backend storage(HDD RAID1+0).
We are using a xfs/bcache setup.
When testing performance on a gluster mounted folder from a clientserver, the
performance shows 3,5 MB/S on my random write tests. This is the same result
for every random write test i run.
Is this something that is limited by GlusterFS in itself? or should I turn my
gaze at something else ?
Thanks in advance,
Kim Holmebakken
Hi Kim,
Very hard to understand from the above where your bottleneck is.
The usual way to tackle performance debugging is to test each layer of the
system where possible so you can isolate the issue.
What exactly is your random write test? What specific IO pattern does it generate?
Can you run it against the XFS/bcache setup locally without glusterfs? How does
it do there?
Thanks!
Ric
