i got 1.2 gb/s on seagate sshd ST1000LX001 raid 5 x3 (but with the dreaded cache array on) and 1.1 gb/s on samsung pro ssd 1tb x3 raid5 (no array caching on for it's not compatible on proliant---not enterprise ssd).

 hi, thanks for the reply. I have hardware raid 5  storage servers with 4TB WD red drives. I think they are capable of 6GB/s transfers so it shouldnt be a drive speed issue. Just for testing i tried to do a dd test directy into the brick mounted from the storage server itself and got around 800mb/s transfer rate which is double what i get when the brick is mounted on the client. Are there any other options or tests that i can perform to figure out the root cause of my problem as i have exhaused most google searches and tests.

your 10G nic is capable, the problem is the disk speed, fix ur disk speed first, use ssd or sshd or sas 15k in a raid 0 or raid 5/6 x4 at least.

 Hi , I have gluster 3.6.2 installed on my server network. Due to internal issues we are not allowed to upgrade the gluster version. All the clients are on the same version of gluster. When transferring files  to/from the clients or between my nodes over the 10gb network, the transfer rate is capped at 450Mb/s .Is there any way to increase the transfer speeds for gluster mounts? 
Our server setup is as following:

2 gluster servers -gfs1 and gfs2 volume name : gfsvolume3 clients - hpc1, hpc2,hpc3gluster volume mounted on /export/gfsmount/



The following is the average results what i did so far:
1) test bandwith with iperf between all machines - 9.4 GiB/s2) test write speed with dd 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/gfsmount/testfile bs=1G count=1


result=399Mb/s

3) test read speed with dd
dd if=/export/gfsmount/testfile of=/dev/zero bs=1G count=1




result=284MB/s


My gluster volume configuration: 
Volume Name: gfsvolumeType: ReplicateVolume ID: a29bd2fb-b1ef-4481-be10-c2f4faf4059bStatus: StartedNumber of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2Transport-type: tcpBricks:Brick1: gfs1:/export/sda/brickBrick2: gfs2:/export/sda/brickOptions Reconfigured:performance.quick-read: offnetwork.ping-timeout: 30network.frame-timeout: 90performance.cache-max-file-size: 2MBcluster.server-quorum-type: nonenfs.addr-namelookup: offnfs.trusted-write: offperformance.write-behind-window-size: 4MBcluster.data-self-heal-algorithm: diffperformance.cache-refresh-timeout: 60performance.cache-size: 1GBcluster.quorum-type: fixedauth.allow: 172.*cluster.quorum-count: 1diagnostics.latency-measurement: ondiagnostics.count-fop-hits: oncluster.server-quorum-ratio: 50%

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Kaamesh
