[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.2 for lots of small files

[Mohit Anchlia]

You will find difficult to tune when using small files. But what you
are seeing is really low. Is your average file size 10k? Are these
text files?

1) of all what's your throughput requirements??

2) try running "dd" tests with oflag/iflag=direct

3) run multiple clients from separate hosts and see if you add a
client does it linearly increase the performance.

4) when using small files increasing number of parallel threads from
same client will not increase performance. lower the threads and see
if that helps.

Post results.
