thanks for posting
I'd be curious to see what kind of disproportion you get between:  raw
fs / single brick volume with local fuse mountpoint which effectively
points back to the same raw fs
from my quick tests I saw massive gap between the two
thanks


Tests are:
Single Disk (direct, no gluster)
Gluster Replicated
Gluster Striped Replicated
Gluster Distributed Replicated
Gluster Stripe


Hi All,

I would like to clarify few things before some one does performance runs on GlusterFS.

First of all, GlusterFS is not designed/intended to be used as a local filesystem, ie, without n/w in picture it should not be used for any kind of benchmark. Please do let us know the exact use cases to use GlusterFS without n/w in picture, and we can consider that in our designs.

If you are comparing GlusterFS's performance to your local file system (like XFS/ext4/btrfs etc), performance numbers would look bad, for sure (at least for short future).

This is the main reason, we recommend understanding the use-case before deploying GlusterFS. Try to run with similar workload on the setup to run benchmarks, because the pattern of fops, type of volume, type of hardware/ type of network, all of these has a effect on benchmark numbers you would get.


Regards,
Amar
