- try your setup without it? Also, writebehind is a client-side thing, so remove that from the server (server is a normal userspace process, so it'll get the benefit of kernel filesystem cache). John -- John Madden Sr UNIX Systems Engineer Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana jmad

twork card, etc. io-threads counts, for example, only seem to drive load average higher, as they all sit there chewing up cpu anyway, so you lower them and get lower overall system load but higher latency. But why would the glusterfs process need cpu time anyway? John -- John Madden Sr UN

Please check the memory usage on the server and check if the swap space is used much. You can try reducing the io-threads count to 8 (in place of 16). I had tried 16, 8, and 4 on io-threads. No swap usage at all. John -- John Madden Sr UNIX Systems Engineer Ivy Tech Community College
