This has stumped me beyond belief. I'm actually getting *much better* small file performance with debug/trace added into the client-side volfile than without it. Here's what I did to test it:
1) Downloaded latest.tar.gz (current Wordpress tarball from wordpress.org) 2) tar xzf latest.tar.gz -C /mnt/glusterfs 3) rm -rf /mnt/glusterfs/wordpress 4) Added debug/trace translator in client volfile 5) Repeated steps 2 & 3 Initial test with my normal client volfile: Client volfile: http://pastie.org/1072935 untar: 32.999s removal: 4.540s Second test with debug/trace translator enabled: Client volfile: http://pastie.org/1072951 untar: 6.077s removal: 1.806s After several test runs, the subsequent results were within a few seconds of the initial run. Between each run, I alternated volfiles to include and exclude the debug/trace translator and then unmounted/mounted the GlusterFS volume If you compare the two volfiles, the *only* difference is that I added/removed in the debug/trace translator. I decided to do a third test in which I add one extra debug/trace translator for the second server as well: Client volfile: http://pastie.org/1072968 untar: 5.260s removal: 1.589s The performance is marginally better with debug/trace on both bricks. My client details: http://pastie.org/1072993 Server volfile: http://pastie.org/1072996 If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. -- Major Hayden ma...@mhtx.net _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
