Hi Raghavendra,<br>
<br>
Setting the performance.write-behind off had a small improvement on
the write speed (~3%),<br>
<br>
We were unable to turn on "group metadata-cache". When we try get
errors like<br>
<br>
# gluster volume set data-volume group metadata-cache<br>
'/var/lib/glusterd/groups/<wbr>metadata-cache' file format not valid.<br>
<br>
Was metadata-cache available for gluster 3.7.11? We ask because the
release notes for 3.11 mentions “Feature for metadata-caching/small
file performance is production ready.”
(<a class="gmail-m_-5807630702261925266moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/release-notes/3.11.0/" target="_blank">https://gluster.readthedocs.<wbr>io/en/latest/release-notes/3.<wbr>11.0/</a>).<br>
<br>
Do any of these results suggest anything? If not, what further
tests would be useful?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Group metadata-cache is just a bunch of options one sets on a volume. So, You can set them manually using gluster cli.

Hi Raghavendra,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the suggestions. Our technician will be in
on Monday. We'll test then and let you know the
results.<br>
<br>
One question I have, is the "group metadata-cache"
option supposed to directly impact the performance or is
it to help collect data? If the latter, where will the
data be located?<br>

I saw in earlier
conversations that there are
too many lookups, but small
number of writes. Since
writes cached in
write-behind would
invalidate metadata cache,
lookups won't be absorbed by
md-cache. I am wondering
what would results look like
if we turn off
performance.write-behind.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
We were
recently
revisiting our
problems with
the slowness
of gluster
writes (<a href="http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2017-April/030529.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.gluster.org/pipe<wbr>rmail/gluster-users/2017-April<wbr>/030529.html</a>).
Specifically
we were
testing the
suggestions in
a recent post
(<a href="http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2018-March/033699.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.gluster.org/pipe<wbr>rmail/gluster-users/2018-March<wbr>/033699.html</a>).
The first two
suggestions
(specifying a
negative-timeout in the mount settings or adding
rpc-auth-allow-insecure to glusterd.vol) did not improve our
performance,
while setting
"disperse.eager-lock off" provided a tiny (5%) speed-up.<br>
<br>
Some of the
various tests
we have tried
earlier can be
seen in the
links below.
Do any of the
above
observations
suggest what
we could try
next to either
improve the
speed or debug
the issue?
Thanks<br>
