<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi</div><div><br></div><div>I am currently testing gluster 3.9 replicated/distrbuted on centos 7.3 with samba/ctdb.</div><div>I have been able to get it all up and running, but writing small files is really slow. </div><div><br></div><div>If I copy large files from gluster backed samba I get almost wire speed (We only have 1Gb at the moment). I get around half that speed if I copy large files to the gluster backed samba system, which I am guessing is due to it being replicated (This is acceptable).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Small file write performance seems really poor for us though:</div><div>As an example I have an eclipse IDE workspace folder that is 6MB in size that has around 6000 files in it. A lot of these files are <1k in size.</div><div><br></div><div>If I copy this up to gluster backed samba it takes almost one hour to get there.</div><div>With our basic samba deployment it only takes about 5 minutes.</div><div><br></div><div>Both systems reside on the same disks/SAN.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I was hoping that we would be able to move away from using a proprietary SAN to house our network shares and use gluster instead.</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any suggestions of anything I could tweak to make it better ?</div><div><br></div><div>Many Thanks</div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><i>Gary Lloyd</i><div><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">______________________________</span><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">__________________</span><br><div><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">I.T.
