Whit,

I wonder in the Samba > Gluster client > Gluster server scenario whether the
slowness is the Gluster client transacting with both servers rather than
just the local one.

I tested a reboot inbeween, so just one server stayed online and I didn't see much changes in the throughput. I tried to play around with the translators and I could't get any significant increase
or decrease.

Samba on a local volume is much faster (I messed one test up and was so happy about the transfer rates
and realized afterwards that samba used a local disc).

Gunnar,

Second fastest is #1,  nfs mount shared by Samba 4000 files in around 6 min
Slowest is #2  where I need more than 12 min for 4000 files.
Thanks for running that test. That's a significant difference.

You've at least confirmed my suspicion that Samba > NFS > Gluster is not at
any speed disadvantage. And in many months of running that way, as I said,
there have been no performance complaints - although with this an
unsupported configuration it could turn out we've just been lucky and that
there's something yet that can go wrong.
