Dear Gluster developers, This is Hyunseung Park at Gluesys, South Korea.
We are trying to replicate the test in https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/2771 but to no avail. In our experiments, Gluster version 10 unfortunately did not perform noticably better than version 9. v9 2x2 average create 3399.99 3484.79 2702.57 3195.783333 ls -l 65605.2 64930.6 72018.7 67518.16667 chmod 4858.95 4965.29 5597.73 5140.656667 stat 7334.88 7755.89 8335.11 7808.626667 read 7015.64 8255.48 7007.01 7426.043333 append 2554.93 2777.65 2572.57 2635.05 mkdir 1800.29 1865.07 1805.48 1823.613333 rmdir 1854.09 1722.89 1876.81 1817.93 cleanup 2402.02 2447.36 2438.71 2429.363333 v10 2x2 average create 3741.39 3174.82 3234.42 3383.543333 ls -l 71543.7 67275.9 72975.1 70598.23333 chmod 5441.11 5109.22 5004.08 5184.803333 stat 7746.37 7677.99 7885.72 7770.026667 read 7061.12 7165.21 7121.07 7115.8 append 3458.93 2641.84 2887.46 2996.076667 mkdir 2685.22 1879.35 1970.91 2178.493333 rmdir 2240.11 1648.37 1602.16 1830.213333 cleanup 3739.68 2407.57 2403.48 2850.243333 The result above is from the test that deployed 32 threads on each of the 4 clients. Some results were better than others, but it is not good enough when compared to the result in the aforementioned link. We are wondering what we can do to get the full potential of the new version. We have been running tests with varying file sizes, number of threads, different volume topology, etc. but we were not able to see data conclusive enough. We were also not able to find meaningful output from running tests using other benchmark tools such as bonnie++ and FIO. To find the potential cause we tried to look into the program by calling malloc_stats() and using perf. However, we also could not find something noteworthy from the result. Here is the data recorded during one set of smallfile test (from create to cleanup): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NMXNjgOZ7svDd4-YvKCU4UAp43tm15dC?usp =sharing Below is our test environment: Basic HW info: VM (vSphere), 2 core CPU, 4G RAM. 4 servers and 4 clients.
