[Gluster-users] Improving afr performance

[Paras Fadte]

Hi Vikas,

Thanks for the response.

I am having performance issues upon migration to gluster. Follwoing
should explain the issue.

There are scripts running which access data from the gluster mount
point . Earlier NFS was used . With NFS the scripts seem to have no
problem getting completed faster but when same scripts run accessing
same data from gluster  it runs about 3-4 times  slower .  Mostly the
scripts do stat/unlinking/renaming operations on files. Number of
files would be roughly 25k withe average file size 40KB . What can be
done to increase the speed/performance ?

Regarding stat-prefetch is the following usage correct ?

volume afr
 type cluster/replicate
 subvolumes A B
end-volume

volume stat-prefetch
  type performance/stat-prefetch
  subvolumes afr
end-volume

Thank you.
