Hi,
i've attached log file. It's a logfile of node where there was client+brick configuration. Others were just bricks.

regards

Hi Marko,

Thanks for the document. Do you have glusterfs log files taken while performing these benchmarks?

regards,

    Hi,
    this document is made for my personal reference so it's a little raw.

    Hi Marko,

    The option disable-for-first-nbytes disables write behind for the
    first n bytes written, where n is the value of the option.

    Also, Can you please send the benmark results for the tests you
    carried out?

    regards,

        Hello,

        To clearify:
         * im testing with gluisterfs-2.0.0rc7
         * all bricks are on same physical server(Xen guests). It's a
        testing environment.

        These are a few benchmarks I've done so far:
          * time make-many-files #(this is slightly modified version
        that I've found
        here:http://www.linuxinsight.com/files/make-many-files.c)
          * time dd if=/dev/zero bs=8 count=128000 of=file1MB.bin
        #(effectively creates lots of small consecutive fops)
          * time dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 count=25000
         of=file100MB.bin #(creates optimal transactions from HDDs
        physical point of  view. I have best results here with all
        configurations)
          * time cp -a 0 1 2 /tmp #(/tmp is mounted as tmpfs; 0 1 2
        are directories created by "make-many-files" )
          * time rm 0 1 2 -fr

        I wish GlusterFS team provided simmilar set of tests so one
        can measure his performance in a way that can be compared to
        results from others. I think it would be a great value to all
        GlusterFS users and developers. I think that to create basic
        set of these tests is a trivial task( maybe just use mine :D ).

        Below I attached my configuration.  Without write-back
        translator I get better results in most of the tests.
        I can't understand why write-back has such a bad impact on
        performance(being a performance *booster*).
        I've also noticed that TCP packets are  much lower than MTU
        in first benchmark. Meaning write-back doesn't optimize writes.
        Can you explain that?
        Can someone help me to get high performance with AFR?

        Regards,
        Marko
