Hi, I would like to know what experiences you all have with different brands of switches used with Gluster. I don't know why I should buy a Cisco or HP premium switch, when all I want is a Gb network. No VPN or any advanced features. -- Runar Ingebrigtsen__

Thanks Brian. I tried what you recommended. At first I was very encouraged when I saw things moving across the wire. But about 15 minutes into the transfer things ground to a halt. I am currently running across a GigE channel. Things were moving about 20-40 MB/s but when things stopped moving

If your disks are >1TB with XFS then try mount -o inode64 This has the effect of sequential writes into the same directory being localised next to each other (within the same allocation group). When you skip to the next directory you will probably get a different allocation group. Without this, t

However after about an hour of copying several terabytes from 3-4 client machines, the rates of transfer often dropped to
