[Gluster-users] Performance degrade

[Roland Rabben]

Hi, I am looking for some help and advice from the community. I am
experiencing a performance degrade on my GlusterFS system after
upgrading from 2.09 to 3.05.

My setup has 2 clients and 2 storage servers configured in a
distributed / replicated setup over TCP Gigabit Ethernet.
My storage servers each has 36 x 1,5 TB SATA disks and a 4 core Intel
I7 processor with 6 GB RAM. I am runnig Ubuntu 9.04 with latest
updates.

My application is mainly a write once / read many app with small and
large files. Now it seems write performance has been degraded.

The GlusterFS servers are showing very high CPU usage. Around 200 %
for the glusterfsd process. RAM usage seems to be very low, only about
148 MB.

Should I be using, or not using, the performance translators I am using?
I need help and advice tuning my setup for better performance and
overall Gluster greatness.

Attached are examples of client and server vol files.

Thanks in advance.


Best regards
