Good luck with that. We've tried on 10GigE with _disastrous_ results. Up to the point where 1GigE was actually _faster_. So far we've uncovered two issues: - intel_idle was/is seriously broken (we've tried on 3.0-stable, so might've been fixed by now) - osd-server is calling 'fsync' on each and every write request. Does wonders for performance ... Cheers, Hannes -- Dr. Hannes Reinecke zSeries & Storage [email protected] +49 911 74053 688 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg GF: J. Hawn, J.
