Hello, ran a test to check trhoughput of , I am seeing drop in performance contrary to what is expected with multiple DS are added. Any thoughts on why there is no scaling of read performace is appreciated. ./iozone -I -i 0 -i 2 -s 512m -r 4 -t 1 -I disable FS caching and run Direct I/O -i 0 sequential write -i 2 random read and write -s 512m file size twice the size of RAM (256MB) -r record size 4KB -t 1 throughout mode and one thread With one DS server enabled in spnfd.conf One DS server Random read Children see throughput for 1 random readers = 3355.27 KB/sec Parent sees throughput for 1 random readers = 3355.21 KB/sec Min throughput per process = 3355.27 KB/sec Max throughput per process = 3355.27 KB/sec Avg throughput per process = 3355.27 KB/sec Min xfer = 524288.00 KB two DS servers Random read Children see throughput for 1 random readers = 3098.43 KB/sec Parent sees throughput for 1 random readers = 3098.36 KB/sec Min throughput per process = 3098.43 KB/sec Max throughput per process = 3098.43 KB/sec Avg throughput per process = 3098.43 KB/sec Min xfer = 524288.00 KB -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
