Hi, Web Hosting is what comes to mind for me. Applications like prestashop, wordpress, some custom apps ... I know that I try to use DRBD as much as I can for that since GlusterFS makes the sites just way too slow to use, I tried both fuse and NFS (not ganesha since I'm on debian everytime though, don't know if that matters). Using things like OPCache and moving the application's cache outside of the volume are helping a lot but that brings a whole loads of other problems you can't always deal with, so most of the time I just don't use gluster for that. Last time I really had to use gluster to host a web app I ended up installing a VM with a disk stored on glusterfs and configuring a simple NFS server, that was way faster than mounting a gluster volume directly on the web servers. At least that proves VM hosting works pretty well now though ! Now I can't try tiering, unfortunatly I don't have the option of having hardware for that, but maybe that would indeed solve it if it makes looking up lots of tiny files quicker. -- Kevin Lemonnier PGP Fingerprint : 89A5 2283 04A0 E6E9 0111
