Hi,
I have a production setup, with clients that are both NFS and GlusterFS
clients. I've made a _very_ quick benchmark (repeated ten times), to
compare read performance between local hardrives, a NFS mount and a
GlusterFS mount.
- a 17k file :
cache_c21f969b5f03d33d43e04f8f136e7682_c57d91c82f2ed2e96c13765e33fcd5ae
- a 50M file : users0.new.spi
- /nfs is a NFS mounted point, server with SATA drives
- /gluster is a GlusterFS mounted point, 2x servers with SAS drives

# "When doing a "df -h" on a client, the AVAILABLE disk space
will display the maximum disk space of the first AFR sub volume defined
in the spec file. So if you have two servers with 50 gigs and 100 gigs
of free disk space, and the server with 100 gigs is listed first, then
you will see 100 gigs available even though one server only has 50 gigs
free. "
