Hello,
I'm keen to use glusterfs as scalable storage to match the rest of my
horizontally-scalable, commodity platform.
I've been testing on a machine with 4x SATA 7200 drives. I created four
KVM virtual machines, gave each of them a dedicated disk, and installed
gluster-3.2.2. I created a distributed replicated volume across four
bricks, with a replication factor of 2. The virtual machines are
networked together via software bridge (standard KVM).
When transferring a 4GB filesystem of relatively small files
(mean=795KB), I see write throughput of about 512 KB/s, with reads
approaching 3 MB/s.
As expected, large files show much better throughput: 20MB/s write and
50MB/s read for a 500MB file.
In production, I plan to swap out magnetic drives for SSDs. Will this
help with the write performance of small files on glusterfs, as I suspect?
Are my results for small files consistent with other users?
Cheers,
-C-
