Re: Teaming vs Bond?

    OK, at least its not an *issue* with Gluster. I didn't expect any
      but you never know.

    
    I have been amused at the 'lack' of discussion on Teaming
      performance found on Google searches. 

    
    There are lots of 'here it is and here is how to set it up'
      articles/posts, but no 'ooh-wee-wow it is awesome' comments.
    It seems that for most people Bonding has worked it kinks out and
      thus serves its purpose perfectly fine, so no reason to change to
      Teaming. 

    
    That or they had Mahdi's experience with Teaming in its present
      state and bonding just works better for now.

    
    For now, I'll just use tried and true ALB bonding on this project.
    After I have some free time I may play with it some more on a test
    bed we have here. 

    
    Among the 'advantages' claimed for Teaming  is the lower performance
    overhead (though "low vs very-low" may not be significant)

    Thanks all for the feedback.

    
    I'll let everyone know if my testing happens and if it is a
    significant difference (good or bad).

      I haven't done any testing of performance

        that's that it supports.  On the stand along gluster nodes I use
        teaming for bonding.
        

        Teaming may be slightly easier to manage, but not by much
          if you are already used to bond setups.  I haven't noticed any
          bugs or issues using teaming.

            A google search reveals that the gluster docs (and Lindsay)
            recommend balance-alb bonding.

            
            However, "team"ing came up which I wasn't familiar with. Its
            already in RH6/7 and Ubuntu and their Github page implies
            its stable.

            
            The libteam.org
            people seem to feel their solution is more lightweight and
            it seems easy enough to setup.

            
            Before I go down this path, I was curious if anyone had any
            experience/comments with 'team'

            
            It would be nice to get a little speed bump essentially for
            free.
