Not sure what a good method to bench this would be, but:
An NFS mount point on virt host:

100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 3.95399 s, 104 MB/s
Raw brick performance on gluster server (yes, I know I shouldn't write
directly to the brick):
[root@gluster1 iso-store]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=4k count=100000

100000+0 records out
409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 3.06743 s, 134 MB/s
Gluster mount point on gluster server:
[root@gluster1 iso-store]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=4k count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out

The storage servers are a bit older, but are both dual socket quad core
opterons with 4x 7200rpm drives.
A block size of 4k is quite small so that the context switch overhead
involved with fuse would be more perceivable.
Would it be possible to increase the block size for dd and test?
I'm in the process of setting up a share from my desktop and I'll see if
I can bench between the two systems. Not sure if my ssd will impact the
tests, I've heard there isn't an advantage using ssd storage for glusterfs.
Do you have any pointers to this source of information? Typically
glusterfs performance for virtualization work loads is bound by the
slowest element in the entire stack. Usually storage/disks happen to be
the bottleneck and ssd storage does benefit glusterfs.

Does anyone have a hardware reference design for glusterfs as a backend
for virt? Or is there a benchmark utility?

Windows guest
I have two options, virtio and virtio-scsi.
I was using virtio, and have also attempted virtio-scsi on
another Windows guest with the same results.
Using the newest drivers, virtio-win-0.1-74.iso.

# of VM's: 3 - two Linux guests are idle, one Windows

I've installed a Windows 2008 R2 guest with virtio disk,
and all the
drivers from the latest virtio iso. I've also installed
the spice agent
drivers.
Guest disk access is horribly slow, Resource monitor
during Windows
updates shows Disk peaking at 1MB/sec (scale never
increases) and Disk
Queue Length Peaking at 5 and looks to be sitting at
that level 99% of
the time. 113 updates in Windows has been running
solidly for about 2.5
hours and is at 89/113 updates complete.
virtio-block or virtio-scsi?
which windows guest driver version for that?
I can't say my Linux guests are blisteringly fast, but
updating a guest
from RHEL 6.3 fresh install to 6.5 took about 25 minutes.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know - I haven't
found any tuning
docs for Windows guests that could explain this issue.
Thanks,
