Christian,

I've been following along with interest, as I've also been trying
everything I can to improve gluster performance in my HCI cluster. My issue
is mostly latency related and my workloads are typically small file
operations which have been especially challenging.

Couple of things

1. About the MTU, did you also enable jumbo frames at switch level (if
applicable)? I have jumbo frames enabled but honestly didn't see much of an
impact from doing so.

2. About libgfapi. It's actually quite simple to enable it (at least if you
want to do some testing). It can be enabled on the hosted engine using
engine-config i.e. *engine-config -s LibgfApiSupported=true -- *from my
experience you can do this while VMs are running and they won't pick up the
new config under powered off/restarted. So you are able to test it out on
one VM. Again, as and some others have mentioned this is not a default
option in oVirt because there are known bugs with the libgfapi
implementation. Some others have worked around these bugs in various ways
but like you, I am not willing to do so in a production environment. Still,
I think it's very much worth doing some tests on a VM with libgfapi enabled
compared to default fuse mount.
