[Gluster-devel] [Gluster-users] opportunist for outreachy

[Ms ms]

Hi,

As a part of my initial contribution to the organization, I have done the
following:

   1. Installed gluster on 2 nodes on digitalocean
   2. Specs of the nodes: 2 GB Memory / 40 GB Disk / NYC2 - Ubuntu 16.04.1
   x64
   3. Set up a volume and mounted it
   4. Set up a client machine, and ran the benchmark tests from there only.

After the setup of the nodes and the client machine, I ran the benchmark
tests from [1]. I found the following issues while creating the benchmark:

   - there were no instructions on the latest ppa for gluster, so I had to
   search on launchpad for Ubuntu
   - mount_point is a required variable which is not accepted properly
   - no instructions on setting up IOZone.
   - IOZone configuration file isn't generated properly for IOZone3.
   - smallfile is configured on all clients, however the check for
   smallfile is done on localhost, so even though it's installed it installs
   it everytime.
   - error handling is weak on tests
   - the mounted volume name is hard coded for smallfile

I would like to improve the benchmark script. Also, could I make a pull
request for the same?

On fixing the errors and after some research I was able to generate the
following results for the benchmark:

Sequential Writes 64 record size: 549,826 kBps
Sequential Reads 64 record size: 919,270 kBps
Random Writes 64 record size: 278,564 kBps Random Reads 64 record size:
81,914 KBps Smallfile Creates 64 file size: 236 files/sec Smallfile Reads
64 file size: 627 files/sec
Smallfile ls -l 64 file size: 10693 files/sec
