Hi Bharata,

I am interested to see the performance for read and writes separately. 
Aggregated will probably be much influenced by the read performance.

Interesting the last figures, seems quiet a significant performance gain using 
the QEMU-GlusterFS.

See if you can get the results for read and writes separately.

Best regards,

Fernando

Ok, here are the aggregated bandwidth numbers from a quick FIO (4 seq writes 
using libaio) write test:

Base: 189667KB/s
QEMU-GlusterFS native: 150635KB/s
QEMU-GlusterFS FUSE: 43028KB/s

So as you can see, native is much better than FUSE, but still doesn't match the 
base numbers. When I say base, it means that the guest is run directly from 
glusterfs brick (w/o gluster FUSE mount or using QEMU-GlusterFS native driver).

FIO at the moment. Plan to include more benchmark numbers in future.
Any help here would be appreciated :)

No, QEMU-GlusterFS native numbers are way better than FUSE. Let me quote the 
numbers from the URL I gave earlier:

Base: 63076KB/s
QEMU-GlusterFS native: 53609KB/s
QEMU-GlusterFS FUSE: 29392KB/s

Regards,
Bharata.
