All,
I've been working on a new GlusterFS deployment over the last week and I
wrote up some of the experiences I had while trying to get the setup
ready for production:

In a nutshell, I was trying to figure out why my shiny new servers
weren't giving me the speed I assumed they would out of the box
(something I'm sure every new user goes through!). It was quite
enlightening to run through the various components looking for
bottlenecks. In the end I found that NFS was many times faster than
FUSE... which seems to contradict what most people see. I haven't yet
deployed my Gluster, so there's still time for more architectural
changes if new information comes in!
Hope it helps someone! Comments and questions appreciated. Thanks,
--
