Hi glusters, I'm close to deploy my first GlusterFS replica 3 arbiter 1 volume. Below I will describe my hardware / plans: Node1: two bricks, 2 x raid0 arrays 40gbe network Node2: two bricks, 2 x raid0 arrays 40gbe network Node3: Arbiter 1gbe network Between Node1 and Node2, I have a 40gbe network. But the arbiter has 1 gbe network. The question is, can arbiter run in a slow network ? It will affect the general performance of volume? Thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/attachments/20221202/cf87fbfb/attachment.html>
As the arbiter doesn't receive or provide any data to the clients - just metadata ,so bandwith is not critical but lattency is.Ensure that lattency is the same or lower for the arbiter node and you can use an SSD/NVME to ensure that storage lattency won't be a bottleneck. Also, don't forget to specify the isize=512 and bump the 'maxpct' to a bigger number. Usually I set it to minimum 80%. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov?

Hi Filipe, I think it would probably be fine. The Red Hat Storage docs list the important thing being *5ms latency*, not link speed: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.5/html/administration_guide/creating_arbitrated_replicated_volumes I haven't used an arbiter configuration yet (still stuck on distribute + replicate, not sure how to migrate). Let us know it goes.
