[Gluster-users] [ovirt-users] ovirt glusterfs performance

[Bill James]

thank you for the reply.

We setup gluster using the names associated with  NIC 2 IP.
  Brick1: ovirt1-ks.test.j2noc.com:/gluster-store/brick1/gv1
  Brick2: ovirt2-ks.test.j2noc.com:/gluster-store/brick1/gv1
  Brick3: ovirt3-ks.test.j2noc.com:/gluster-store/brick1/gv1

That's NIC 2's IP.
Using 'iftop -i eno2 -L 5 -t' :

dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/testfile bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 68.0714 s, 15.4 MB/s

Peak rate (sent/received/total):                      281Mb 5.36Mb      
282Mb
Cumulative (sent/received/total):                    1.96GB 14.6MB     
1.97GB

gluster volume info gv1:
  Options Reconfigured:
  performance.write-behind-window-size: 4MB
  performance.readdir-ahead: on
  performance.cache-size: 1GB
  performance.write-behind: off

performance.write-behind: off didn't help.
Neither did any other changes I've tried.


There is no VM traffic on this VM right now except my test.

I'll have to look into how to remove this sig for this mailing list....
