You need to test the system in ways
that match the way you intend to use the system.
Bonnie is a nice generic test of disk and file system performance but it will seldom match any real world application unless your application is to run bonnie on systems. If your running a database with large tables then the way you test will be different than if your running something like a mail server with millions of very small files that are seldom updated.. If you want to check failure modes you need to think of all the possible failure modes. - Loss of a server - Loss of a brick - Loss of communication between servers - Loss of communication between clients and some/all servers - file system corruption - an error prone network connection and so on. If you want to check data integrity then you need to have something like a checksum on each file and when your done check against the checksum or actually run a full compare on each file. Correctly setup you could get rsync to in effect do the comparison for you. On 04/29/2017 10:26 AM, Gandalf Corvotempesta wrote: I would like to heavy test a small gluster installation. Anyone did this previously ? I think that running bonnie++ for 2 or more days and trying to remove nodes/bricks would be enough to test everything, but how can i ensure that, after some days, all file stored are exactly how bonnie++ has created ? Probably, rsync would be better ? I can try to sync a directory with millions of files and while the syncing is running, trying to make some damages (power off, unplug, etc etc). After all, re-running rsync should not transfer any file, they should be already present. Right ? If rsync re-sync files, means that gluster has made some data loss or data corruption. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users -- Alvin Starr || voice: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@xxxxxxxxxx || |
