Hi all! A while back I created a benchmark kit for Gluster: https://github.com/gluster/gbench To run it just check the help file: [bturner at ben-laptop bt-0000-0001]$ python GlusterBench.py -h Gluster Benchmark Kit Options: -h --help Print gbench options. -v Verbose Output. -r --record-size Record size to write in for large files in KB -s --seq-file-size The size of file each IOZone thread creates in GB -f --files The nuber of files to create for smallfile tests in KB -l --sm-file-size The size of files to create for smallfile tests in KB -n --sample-size The number of samples to collect for each test -t --threads The number of threads to run applications with -m --mount-point The mount point gbench runs against Example: GlusterBench.py -r 1024 -s 8 -f 10000 -l 1024 -n 3 -t 4 -m /gluster-mount -v To run it just cd to the dir and run GlusterBench.py: $ git clone https://github.com/gluster/gbench.git $ cd gbench/bench-tests/bt-0000-0001/ $ python GlusterBench.py -r 1024 -s 8 -f 10000 -l 1024 -n 3 -t 4 -m /gluster-mount -v Gbench will install smallfile for you and create any config files, but you will need to have IOzone installed your self as I haven't yet found a reliable repo for IOZone. If anyone is interested in benchmarking their cluster or testing the tool I would appreciate it. Also any problems / enhancements / whatever either email me or open an issue on github. In the future I would love to have a page where you can upload your results and see how your cluster's performance compares to others. We are always looking for users / contributors so if you know python and want to contribute it would be appreciated! Thanks! -b
