For small-block sized i/o, write-behind should've helped since it acknowledges writes from application even before it has got acks from server (and writing in background after it does ack to application), thereby reducing the latency of a single write call. @Jeremy, can you perform dd test writing

Are other operations like chown, chmod etc are succeeding? stat call is generally received as lookup in glusterfs (lookup callback returns a stat structure) and lookup is sent to all subvolumes, whereas calls like open are sent only to those nodes where file is present. On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 3:4

Hi Dean, Seems like you are trying to re-export glusterfs using Samba (as CIFS). I think CIFS relies on POSIX Acls to implement permissions. Glusterfs does not provide ACL support (yet). This may be the cause of your problems. regards, On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 6:18 PM, Dean Bruhn wrote: > Raghav

Raghavendra, The server doesn't provide any logs for the issue at least through the admin console and I don't have shell access as it is platform not glusterfs. With OS X I can provide more issue but I will have to bring the cluster back up. I broke the cluster trying to test the restor

Hi gluster developers, I have encountered a situation where a file can not be found, but it does exist and it is on the correct node. The file can be stat()-ed but not opened. After a Gluster restart the file is accessable again. Glusterfs: 3.0.3 with altered hashing function (by me). == On the

Thanks for the links- those are interesting numbers. Looks like small block i/o performance stinks there relative to NFS too. Given the performance I'm seeing, I doubt much has changed, but it certainly would be interesting to see the tests re-run. Jeremy On 3/29/2010 1:47 PM, Ian Roger

I did supply more context than you mention- it was a tar file of X MB w/ Y files, and compares to disk w/ cache or w/o cache by Z seconds. This should give some idea of the task I was attempting and even a basis for replication of the test. Jeremy On 3/23/2010 12:37 PM, Ian Rogers wrote:

I too am searching for a way to get Gluster to use a cache effectively. So far, no performance translator, variation on translator parameters, or locating translator on server or clients side has made any difference. :( Jeremy On 3/31/2010 3:23 AM, Olivier Le Cam wrote: Hi - * Can yo

Hi - * Can you test dd performance with only write-behind translator (along with protocol/client) in client volume configuration? That makes no difference with either only write-behind translator or all of default translator configurated by genvol. Without it, results are abt 10 times worse.
