Re: [Gluster-users] opportunist for outreachy

2016-10-17 Thread Ms ms 
Hi,

As a part of my initial contribution to the organization, I have done the
following:

   1. Installed gluster on 2 nodes on digitalocean
   2. Specs of the nodes: 2 GB Memory / 40 GB Disk / NYC2 - Ubuntu 16.04.1
   x64
   3. Set up a volume and mounted it
   4. Set up a client machine, and ran the benchmark tests from there only.

After the setup of the nodes and the client machine, I ran the benchmark
tests from [1]. I found the following issues while creating the benchmark:

   - there were no instructions on the latest ppa for gluster, so I had to
   search on launchpad for Ubuntu
   - mount_point is a required variable which is not accepted properly
   - no instructions on setting up IOZone.
   - IOZone configuration file isn't generated properly for IOZone3.
   - smallfile is configured on all clients, however the check for
   smallfile is done on localhost, so even though it's installed it installs
   it everytime.
   - error handling is weak on tests
   - the mounted volume name is hard coded for smallfile

I would like to improve the benchmark script. Also, could I make a pull
request for the same?

On fixing the errors and after some research I was able to generate the
following results for the benchmark:

Sequential Writes 64 record size: 549,826 kBps
Sequential Reads 64 record size: 919,270 kBps
Random Writes 64 record size: 278,564 kBps Random Reads 64 record size:
81,914 KBps Smallfile Creates 64 file size: 236 files/sec Smallfile Reads
64 file size: 627 files/sec
Smallfile ls -l 64 file size: 10693 files/sec

Let me take the Outreachy part up.

There are 2 projects there, one relating to the documentation, for which 
Manikandan has filled in some links and thoughts. The other being the 
instrumentation tooling around performance.


For the latter, I would suggest that you get a gluster volume up and 
running, and attempt the GlusterBench.py [6] against it, and start with 
reporting the results. Again, Manikandan has covered getting gluster up 
and running. For any questions, or things that you get stuck on when 
running the bench script, post back here and we will help as needed.




If you have queries, please mail us back. Also, we are always available
on #gluster-dev
and #gluster-meeting in Freenode.

All the best :-)

[Gluster-users] opportunist for outreachy

2016-10-14 Thread Ms ms 
Hi,

I'm a research student pursuing my Masters in IIIT-Hyderabad. I am keen on
working on Gluster's Outreachy project.

I have prior experience in configuring, maintaining and managing systems in
an MHRD project. I have completed the required course credits towards my
degree and am working on my Thesis currently. It would be great opportunity
for me to learn and contribute to the project as well.

As I am a bit new to the community it would be nice if anyone can guide me
a few useful resources to get me started.

Thanks and regards,
Soumya
