Do both read and write throughput peak at 1Gbit/s? What is the block size used for performing I/O? Can you get the output of - 1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/stripe/file bs=1M count=1K 2. dd if=/mnt/stripe/file of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1K Just one instance of dd is enough as the client network inter

Craig, Using multiple parallel bonnie++ benchmarks (4,8,16) does use several files. These file are 1GB each, and we take care there will be at least 32 of them. As we have multiple processes (4,8,16 bonnie++s) and each uses several files, we spread the io over different storage bricks. I can see t

Peter - Using Gluster the performance of any single file is going to be limited to the performance of the server on which it exists, or in the case of a striped volume of the server on which the segment of the file you are accessing exists. If you were able to start 4 processes, accessing d

Hi All, I am doing some tests with gluster (3.1) and have a problem of not getting higher throughput than 1 Gb (yes bit!) with 4 storage bricks. My setup: 4 storage bricks (dualcore, 4GB mem) each with 3 sata 1Tb disks, connected to a switch with 1 Gb nics. In my tests I only use 1 SATA disk as
