Have a question in regards to storage performance. I have a gluster replica
3 volume that we are testing for performance. In my current configuration
is 1 server has 16X1.2TB( 10K 2.5 Inch) drives configured in Raid 10 with a
256k stripe. My 2nd server is configured with 4X6TB (3.5 Inch Drives)
configured Raid 10 with a 256k stripe. Each server is configured with 802.3
Bond (4X1GB) network links. Each server is configured with write-back on
the raid controller.
I am seeing a lot of network usage (solid 3 Gbps) when i perform file copies
on the vm attached to that gluster volume, But i see spikes on the disk io
when watching the dashboard through the cockpit interface. I spikes are up
to 1.5 Gbps, but i would say the average through put is maybe 256 Mbps.
Is this to be expected, or should it be a solid activity in the graphs for
disk IO. Is it better to use a 256K stripe or a 512 strip on the hardware
raid configuration?
Eventually i plan on having the hardware match up for better performance.
Thanks
Bryan

Hi, can you check IOPS? and state # of VM's ? do : iostat -x 1 for a while
=)
Isnt RAID discouraged ? AFAIK gluster likes JBOD, am I wrong?

That was my impression too, but unfortunately someone told in this mail
list recently that Gluster isn't that clever to work without RAID
Controllers and when disks fail it imposes some difficulties for
replacement. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could clarify this
point which certainly is beneficial to people.
