Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a project for which I am using:

  * 3 storage nodes connected with Omnipath
  * 6 sata 750GB HDD per node (total of 18 disks)

I created a ZFS raidZ1 on each node (5 disks + 1) and used GlusterFS in
raid5 mode between the 3 nodes.

Unfortunately, with (very) big files, I experience a quite low
read-performance, compared to write-perf (write=700MB/s while read=320
MB/s).

Do you know tuning/optimization parameters which could help me get
*better read-performance* ?

You can try to set client.event-threads and server.event-threads to higher values. For example 4 or 8 (default is 2).

gluster volume set <volname> client.event-threads 8
gluster volume set <volname> server.event-threads 8

Here's more information on the configuration:

_ZFS raidz1 on each node:_

/# zpool list////NAME   SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP  
HEALTH  ALTROOT////tank  4,06T  10,5M  4,06T         -     0%     0%  1.00x  
ONLINE  -///

/# zpool status////  pool: tank//// state: ONLINE////  scan: none 
requested////config:////    NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM////    tank  
      ONLINE       0     0     0////      raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     
0////        sda     ONLINE       0     0     0////        sdb     ONLINE       
0     0     0////        sdc     ONLINE       0     0     0////        sdd     
ONLINE       0     0     0////        sde     ONLINE       0     0     0////    
    sdf     ONLINE       0     0     0////errors: No known data errors///

The command used to create the volume:

# zpool create -f tank raidz sda sdb sdc sdd sde sdf

When running IOR on each node, I get about /write perf = 460 MB/s/ and
/read perf = 430 MB/s/ (writing 1024 GiB with zfer_size=16MiB).


_GlusterFS raid5 through TCP (IPoIB) between the 3 nodes:_

# gluster volume create raid55 disperse 3 redundancy 1 sm01.opa:/tank/ec_point 
sm02.opa:/tank/ec_point sm03.opa:/tank/ec_point


There is a big difference between the read-performance on each ZFS node
and with Gluster.

Thanks in advance :)

Yann
