Gluster users - Nov 2013 - glusterfs poor performance for my local machine (host and client on the same machine)

Hi experts

I have a machine which have 5 hard disk

I want to use glusterfs to fast my disk

my machine's IP is 123.224.178.67

my steps
1)create the volume
  gluster volume create vol1 123.224.178.67:/buildarea2
123.224.178.67:/buildarea3
123.224.178.67:/buildarea4 123.224.178.67:/buildarea5 123.224.178.67:
/buildarea6


 2)start the volume
  gluster volume start vol1

3)mount the volume
  mount -t glusterfs 127.0.0.1:/vol1  /mnt


I perform a dd command

root at ovpovp-S2600CP:/mnt/lyang0# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000M count=10 of=./1G
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 55.5562 s, 189 MB/s


any thing is wrong with me ?

You do know that gluster is not about single-node performance? You'll get
far better performance by using RAID 0/1/5/10 on your local machine. Gluster
gives you multiple machine redundancy (like RAID, but spread across multiple
machines), and size scalability beyond what you can fit in one box.

From a single node that looks reasonable for gluster. You'd probably get 3-4
times that with native local access.
