Hi all,
I have a gluster volume used to host several VMs (managed through oVirt). The volume is a replica 3 with arbiter and the 3 servers use 1 Gbit network for the storage.
When testing with dd (dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1G count=1 oflag=direct) out of the volume (e.g. writing at /root/) the performance of the dd is reported to be ~ 700MB/s, which is quite decent. When testing the dd on the gluster volume I get ~ 43 MB/s which way lower from the previous. When testing with dd the gluster volume, the network traffic was not exceeding 450 Mbps on the network interface. I would expect to reach near 900 Mbps considering that there is 1 Gbit of bandwidth available. This results having VMs with very slow performance (especially on their write operations).
The full details of the volume are below. Any advise on what can be tweaked will be highly appreciated.
