[Gluster-users] Slow read performance

            Just to add some supporting data I have a very similar setup and
have a similar ratio of speeds between native and glustered i/o. I seem to
be able to read a bit faster than write but in iozone testing and less
scientific copy a file and time it testing I'm getting between 1/8 and 1/10
of the native i/o bandwidth over the 40 Gbps network.

I get great speed locally, it's only when I add gluster in that it slows
down.  I get 2GB/s locally to the exact same brick.  It's gluster that is
having the read issue (80MB/s).  But Gluster can write just fine, 800MB/s.

 

The blockdev idea is a good one, and I have already done it.  Thanks though.

Tom,

What type of disks do you have? If they are raid 5 or 6, have you try
setting the read-ahead size to 8192 or 16384 (blockdev --setra 8192
/dev/<sd?>   ?

Did anyone else have any ideas on performance tuning for reads?

Yes I can write at 700-800MBytes/sec, but i can only read at 70-80
MBytes/sec.  I would be very happy if I could get it to read at the same
speed it can write at.  And the 70-80 is sequential, not random for reads,
same exact test commands on the disk server are in the 2+GB/s range, so I
know the disk server can do it.

Are your figures 700-800MByte/sec? Because that is probably as fast as your
10G nic cards are able to do. You can test that by trying to push a large
amount of data over nc or ftp. 

 

Might want to try Infiniband. 40G cards are pretty routine.

I also get the same performance running iozone for large file sizes, iozone
-u 1 -r 512k -s 2G -I -F. 

 

Large file IO is what I need the system to do.  I am just shocked at the
huge difference between local IO and gluster client IO.  I know there should
be some difference, but 10x is unacceptable.

Every time you open/close a file or a directory you will have to wait for
locks which take time. This is totally expected. 

 

Why don't you share what you want to do? iozone benchmarks look like crap
but serving qcow2 files to qemu works fantastic for me. What are you doing?
Make a benchmark that does that. If you are going to have many files with a
wide variety of sizes glusterfs/fuse might not be what you are looking for.

I have tested everything, small and large files.  I have used file sizes
ranging from 128k up to multiple GB files.  All the reads are bad. 

 

 

 

Here is a fairly exhaustive iozone auto test:

How are you doing the read/write tests on the fuse/glusterfs mountpoint?
Many small files will be slow because all the time is spent coordinating
locks.

Help please- 

 

 

I am running 3.3.1 on Centos using a 10GB network.  I get reasonable write
speeds, although I think they could be faster.  But my read speeds are
REALLY slow.

 

Executive summary:

 

On gluster client-

Writes average about 700-800MB/s

Reads average about 70-80MB/s

 

On server-

Writes average about 1-1.5GB/s

Reads average about 2-3GB/s

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

 

Here are some additional details:

 

Nothing interesting in any of the log files, everything is very quite.

All servers had no other load, and all clients are performing the same way.
