Hi All,

it's the same for me. I've update all my hosts to the latest release and 
thought it would now use libgfapi since BZ 
1022961<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1022961> is listed in the release notes 
under enhancements.  Are there any steps that need to be taken after upgrading 
for this to work ?

Thank you,
Sven

So ovirt access gluster vai FUSE ? i thought its using libgfapi.

When can we expect it to work with libgfapi ?

and what about the changelog of 4.1.3 ?
BZ 1022961 Gluster: running a VM from a gluster domain should use gluster URI 
instead of a fuse mount"

Hello,

Gluster-Performance is bad. Thats why I asked for native qemu-libgfapi access 
for Ovirt-VM's to gluster volumes which I thought to be possible since 3.6.x. 
Documentation is misleading and still in 4.1.2 Ovirt is using fuse to mount 
gluster-based VM-Disks.

Bye

You probably need to head over to 
gluster-us...@gluster.org<mailto:gluster-us...@gluster.org> for help with 
performance issues.

That said, what kind of performance are you getting, via some form or testing 
like bonnie++ or even dd runs? Raw bricks vs gluster performance is useful to 
determine what kind of performance you're actually getting.

Beyond that, I'd recommend dropping the arbiter bricks and re-adding them as 
full replicas, they can't serve distributed data in this configuration and may 
be slowing things down on you. If you've got a storage network setup, make sure 
it's using the largest MTU it can, and consider adding/testing these settings 
that I use on my main storage volume:

performance.io<http://performance.io>-thread-count: 32
client.event-threads: 8
server.event-threads: 3
performance.stat-prefetch: on


Good luck,

Hi folks,

I have 3x servers in a "hyper-converged" oVirt 4.1.2 + GlusterFS 3.10
configuration. My VMs run off a replica 3 arbiter 1 volume comprised of
6 bricks, which themselves live on two SSDs in each of the servers (one
brick per SSD). The bricks are XFS on LVM thin volumes straight onto the
SSDs. Connectivity is 10G Ethernet.

Performance within the VMs is pretty terrible. I experience very low
throughput and random IO is really bad: it feels like a latency issue.
On my oVirt nodes the SSDs are not generally very busy. The 10G network
seems to run without errors (iperf3 gives bandwidth measurements of >=
9.20 Gbits/sec between the three servers).

To put this into perspective: I was getting better behaviour from NFS4
on a gigabit connection than I am with GlusterFS on 10G: that doesn't
feel right at all.

My volume configuration looks like this:

Volume Name: vmssd
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Volume ID: d5a5ddd1-a140-4e0d-b514-701cfe464853
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 2 x (2 + 1) = 6
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: ovirt3:/gluster/ssd0_vmssd/brick
Brick2: ovirt1:/gluster/ssd0_vmssd/brick
Brick3: ovirt2:/gluster/ssd0_vmssd/brick (arbiter)
Brick4: ovirt3:/gluster/ssd1_vmssd/brick
Brick5: ovirt1:/gluster/ssd1_vmssd/brick
Brick6: ovirt2:/gluster/ssd1_vmssd/brick (arbiter)
Options Reconfigured:
nfs.disable: on
transport.address-family: inet6
performance.quick-read: off
performance.read-ahead: off
performance.io<http://performance.io>-cache: off
performance.stat-prefetch: off
performance.low-prio-threads: 32
network.remote-dio: off
cluster.eager-lock: enable
cluster.quorum-type: auto
cluster.server-quorum-type: server
cluster.data-self-heal-algorithm: full
cluster.locking-scheme: granular
cluster.shd-max-threads: 8
cluster.shd-wait-qlength: 10000
features.shard: on
user.cifs: off
storage.owner-uid: 36
storage.owner-gid: 36
features.shard-block-size: 128MB
performance.strict-o-direct: on
network.ping-timeout: 30
cluster.granular-entry-heal: enable

I would really appreciate some guidance on this to try to improve things
because at this rate I will need to reconsider using GlusterFS altogether.

Cheers,
Chris
