[Gluster-users] Create more would increse performance?

[Strahil Nikolov]

Sharding is created for virtualization and it  provides better performance in a distributed- replicated volumes, as each shard is "placed" ontop of DHT.This way when the VM reads a large file (which spans over several shards), each shard can be read from a different brick -> speeding up the read.
Also, you can explore libgfapi which , despite it's drawbacks , brings a lot of performance (at least based on several reports in the oVirt list).
Overall, more subvolumes (replica sets) will bring better performance (most probably you will feel it in the reads) and with libgfapi the performance can go better.

I'm working with kvm/qemu virtualization here.I already activated virt group.However I am considering make some changes.Mostly it's work with really big files.

It depends. What kind of workload do you have ?
