[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS performance for random file acess

[Grigory Shamov]

Dear Amar,

Thank you for the advice.

(Actually, I used byte units, like, 16384 for 16KB)

The thing is, 128KB page-size, while gives full throughput, seems to 
kill Rewrite completely, as one could see from the Table down below in 
the quote. There I used page-size 128KB and page-count of 2.
