[Gluster-users] performance tuning?

[Jeff White]

You didn't provide your current config or what version you are running 
but you may find this useful:

I'd be interested to hear what happens if you repeat your tests with 
some performance settings changed.  I will be configuring Gluster in an 
HPC cluster with ~83 million files and I'm going to run into the 'lots 
of small files on replica sucks' problem.

Also, here's my testing but it was on a very limited network (stuck on a 
100Mb switch):
