This is your problem. Gluster is only as fast as its slowest piece, and here your storage is the bottleneck. Being that you get 16 MB to the brick and 12 to gluster that works out to about 25% overhead which is what I would expect with a single thread, single brick, single client scenario. This may have something to do with the way SSDs write? On my SSD at my desk I only get 11.4 MB / sec when I run that DD command: # dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=4k oflag=dsync 4096+0 records in 4096+0 records out 268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 23.065 s, 11.4 MB/s My thought is that maybe using dsync is forcing the SSD to clean the data or something else before writing to it: http://www.blog.solidstatediskshop.com/2012/how-does-an-ssd-write/ Do your drives support fstrim? It may be worth it to trim before you run and see what results you get. Other than tuning the SSD / OS to perform better on the back end there isn't much we can do from the gluster perspective on that specific DD w/ the dsync flag. -b > > On Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 6:44 PM, Vijay Bellur < [email protected] > wrote: > > > > On 04/08/2015 02:57 PM, Punit Dambiwal wrote: > > > > Hi, > > I am getting very slow throughput in the glusterfs (dead slow...even > SATA is better) ... i am using all SSD in my environment..... > > I have the following setup :- > A. 4* host machine with Centos 7(Glusterfs 3.6.2 | Distributed > Replicated | replica=2) > B.
