Davide,

With release 0.4, gluster-block is now having more functionality, and we did many stability fixes. Feel free to try out, and let us know how you feel.

Hi Vijay,

The Volume has been created using heketi-cli blockvolume create command. The block config is the config applied by heketi out of the box and in my case ended up to be:
- 3 nodes each with 1 brick
- the brick is carved from a VG with a single PV
- the PV consists of a 1.2TB SSD, not partitioned and no HW RAID behind
- the volume does not have any custom setting aside what configured in /etc/glusterfs/group-gluster-block by default

performance.read-ahead=off

user.cifs=off
server.allow-insecure=on
cluster.choose-local=off

Kernel: 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64
OS: Centos 7.5.1804
tcmu-runner: 0.2rc4.el7

Each node has 32 cores and 128GB RAM and 10Gb connection.

What i am trying to understand is what should be performance expectations with gluster-block since i couldnt find many benchmarks online.

Regards
Davide

Hi Davide,

Can you please share the block hosting volume configuration?

Also, more details about the kernel and tcmu-runner versions could help in understanding the problem better.

Thanks,
Vijay

Hi,

i am testing gluster-block and i am wondering if someone has used it and have some feedback regarding its performance.. just to set some expectations... for example:
- i have deployed a block volume using heketi on a 3 nodes gluster4.1 cluster. it's a replica3 volume.
- i have mounted via iscsi using multipath config suggested, created vg/lv and put xfs on it
- all done without touching any volume setting or customizing xfs parameters etc..
- all baremetal running on 10Gb, gluster has a single block device, SSD in use by heketi

so i tried a dd and i get a 4.7 MB/s? 
- on the gluster nodes i have in write ~200iops, ~15MB/s, 75% util steady and spiky await time up to 100ms alternating between the servers. CPUs are mostly idle but there is some waiting...
- Glusterd and fsd utilization is below 1%

The thing is that a gluster fuse mount on same platform does not have this slowness so there must be something wrong with my understanding of gluster-block?
