Gluster users - May 2010 - Test - limitation of glusterfs

Hello

I've to test, and to see the limits of the solution glusterfs..

I think of different test like:

- maximum server charge
- replication of big and small file
- crash server
- See if gluster check the concurrecy access to a file


And... I write here to obtains some idea by the community.. What kind of 
test can I make to see these limitations.. ?

Scenario is, two glusterfs platform installed on virtualbox, with some 
clients (windows in CIFS, linux in NFS and Glusterfs for the mount point)..

Thanks !

More or less any benchmarking / stresstesting tool you would normally
use to test a filesystem can be used with Gluster as well.  Some popular 
options include Bonnie++, FFSB, and IOZone.
