Hi I'm trying to setup a 3 node gluster, and am hitting huge performance bottlenecks. The 3 servers are connected over 10GB and glusterfs is set to create a 3 node replica. With a single VM performance was poor, but I could have lived with it. I tried to stress it by putting copies of a bunch of VMs on the servers and seeing what happened with parallel nodes.. network load never broke 13Mbps and disk load peaked at under 1Mbps. VMs were so slow that services timed out during boot causing failures. Checked the network with iperf and it reached 9.7Gb so the hardware is fine.. it just seems that for some reason glusterfs just isn't using it. gluster volume top gv0 read-perf shows 0Mbps for all files, although I'm not sure whether the command is working. There's probably a magic setting somewhere, but I've been a couple of days trying to find it now..
