[Gluster-users] Performance

[Hiren Joshi]

Hello all,
 
I have 2 servers both exporting 36 partitions. The client mirrors the 36
partitions on each server and puts them all into a DHT.
 
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/webspace_glust/zeros bs=1024 count=1024000
Takes 8 minutes, compared to 30 seconds vi NFS, now granted I'm using
mostly default settings but a transfer rate of 2.1Mb/s vs about 40Mb/s
seems low.
 
What am I doing wrong? Where should I start with the performance tuning?
 
Josh.
