[Gluster-devel] Has anyone... pure nfs replacement

[Einar Gautun]

I've been running this solution for more than a year, because NFS in
effect stopped (33Kbit/s and a horrific load on the server) when copying
big file trees.

A quick test right now shows kernel compile on 
gluserfs: 
real    17m35.994s
user    4m8.740s
sys     0m47.560s

locally (I don't run nfs anymore):
real    4m42.005s
user    3m51.270s
sys     0m31.200s

on GigEth.

The speed on doing ls -l is near to local disk speed. The load are very
smal. I'm using 3ware sata controllers.

Regards
Einar
