[Gluster-users] ZFS + GlusterFS raid5 low read performance
Hi everyone, I am currently working on a project for which I am using: * 3 storage nodes connected with Omnipath * 6 sata 750GB HDD per node (total of 18 disks) I created a ZFS raidZ1 on each node (5 disks + 1) and used GlusterFS in raid5 mode between the 3 nodes. Unfortunately, with (very) big files, I experience a quite low read-performance, compared to write-perf (write=700MB/s while read=320 MB/s). Do you know tuning/optimization parameters which could help me get *better read-performance* ? Here's more information on the configuration: _ZFS raidz1 on each node:_ /# zpool list////NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT////tank 4,06T 10,5M 4,06T - 0% 0% 1.00x ONLINE -/// /# zpool status//// pool: tank//// state: ONLINE//// scan: none requested////config://// NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM//// tank ONLINE 0 0 0//// raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0//// sda ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdb ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdc ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdd ONLINE 0 0 0//// sde ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdf ONLINE 0 0 0////errors: No known data errors/// The command used to create the volume: # zpool create -f tank raidz sda sdb sdc sdd sde sdf When running IOR on each node, I get about /write perf = 460 MB/s/ and /read perf = 430 MB/s/ (writing 1024 GiB with zfer_size=16MiB). _GlusterFS raid5 through TCP (IPoIB) between the 3 nodes:_ # gluster volume create raid55 disperse 3 redundancy 1 sm01.opa:/tank/ec_point sm02.opa:/tank/ec_point sm03.opa:/tank/ec_point There is a big difference between the read-performance on each ZFS node and with Gluster.

For example 4 or 8 (default is 2). gluster volume set <volname> client.event-threads 8 gluster volume set <volname> server.event-threads 8 Xavi> > > Here's more information on the configuration: > > _ZFS raidz1 on each node:_ > > /# zpool list////NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT////tank 4,06T 10,5M 4,06T - 0% 0% 1.00x ONLINE -/// > > /# zpool status//// pool: tank//// state: ONLINE//// scan: none requested////config://// NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM//// tank ONLINE 0 0 0//// raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0//// sda ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdb ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdc ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdd ONLINE 0 0 0//// sde ONLINE 0 0 0//// sdf ONLINE 0 0 0////errors: No known data errors/// > > The command used to create the volume: > > # zpool create -f tank raidz sda sdb sdc sdd sde sdf > > When running IOR on each node, I get about /write perf = 460 MB/s/ and > /read perf = 430 MB/s/ (writing 1024 GiB with zfer_size=16MiB). > > > _GlusterFS raid5 through TCP (IPoIB) between the 3 nodes:_ > > # gluster volume create raid55 disperse 3 redundancy 1 sm01.opa:/tank/ec_point sm02.opa:/tank/ec_point sm03.opa:/tank/ec_point > > > There is a big difference between the read-performance on each ZFS node > and with Gluster. > > Thanks in advance :) > > Yann > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users >
