Gluster users - Oct 2008 - Quick question about benchmarking....

Hey guys,

I am currently working with a glusterfs setup, and I want to benchmark it.  I
was wondering what tools people are using to run a benchmark across multiple
hosts.  I am currently playing with iozone in clustered mode, but I am not
having a lot of luck.  I was wondering if there are any other tools that could
be useful.

Thanks,
--mark T.

I'm not sure if this list will match your particular need (running
across multiple hosts), but here are some tools we use to benchmark:

- iozone
- dbench - this tests small file operations quite well
- bonnie
- filebench - a very versatile configurable benchmark tool, with
option to provide different kinds of workload (webserver, database,
etc.)
