Gluster users - Mar 2014 - where can i find technical documents about gluster-FUSE

Community,

My management wants me to build a deeper understanding and explain to them 
as we migrate over to glusterfs from traditional NFS, why latency has 
increased.  We are currently using rhel 6.5 and glusterfs-fuse-3.4.2-1 
version.

Latency has increased on our apache servers, not significantly, but enough 
to change our baseline.


Khoi

gluster client has some issues with small files access.

As a matter of fact, gluster tends to perform a little less well with small
files.

There is a number of things that can be done in order to improve this.

Connecting to the servers using NFS, changing how the NFS mount is mounted
(size of buffers, etc), a few gluster parameters on the volumes, some
network sysctl changes.

Those need to be  tested on your application, and always on a
non-production environment, preferably. But, as I said, there are ways
around it.

Cheers,

Carlos
