The bottleneck is definitely not the disk speed with glusterFS, no point of using SSD for bricks what so ever -v On Thu, Mar 22, 2018 at 6:01 AM, Sahina Bose wrote: > > > On Mon, Mar 19, 2018 at 5:57 PM, Jayme wrote: >> >> I'm spec'ing a new oVirt build

My take is that unless you have loads of data and are trying to optimize for cost/TB, HDDs are probably not the right choice. This is particularly true for random I/O workloads for which HDDs are really quite bad. I'd recommend a recent gluster release, and some tuning because the default

I would go with at least 4 HDDs per host in RAID 10. Then focus on network performance where bottleneck usualy is for gluster. On Sat, Mar 24, 2018, 00:44 Jayme wrote: > Do you feel that SSDs are worth the extra cost or am I better off using > regular HDDs? I'm looking for

Do you feel that SSDs are worth the extra cost or am I better off using regular HDDs? I'm looking for the best performance I can get with glusterFS On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 12:03 AM, Manoj Pillai wrote: > > > On Thu, Mar 22, 2018 at 3:31 PM, Sahina Bose
