CIFS client mounts meta ops 30 times slow than server
Hi Samba users, We would like to use samba for re-exporting our other distributed file system (BeeGFS). However, we found that the meta data operations are very slow (dir stat, removal etc.). On SMB client the performance is more than 30x slow than on the SMB server. We would expect some slowness but this is too big a drop. This is the result on CIFS client $ sudo mdtest -b 10 -I 10 -L -z 2 mdte...

State of the gluster project
Hi Diego, I have had a look at BeeGFS and is seems more similar to ceph then to gluster. It requires extra management nodes similar to ceph, right? Second of all there are no snapshots in BeeGFS, as I understand it. I know ceph has snapshots so for us this seems a better alternative. What is your experience of ceph? I am sorry to hear...

...require "extra" nodes (metadata and monitor), but those can be virtual machines or you can host the services on OSD machines. We don't use snapshots, so I can't comment on that. My experience with Ceph is limited to having it working on Proxmox. No experience yet with CephFS. BeeGFS is more like a "freemium" FS: the base functionality is free, but if you need "enterprise" features (quota, replication...) you have to pay (quite a lot... probably not to compromise lucrative GPFS licensing). We also saw more than 30 minutes for an ls on a Gluster directory...

Hi. I'm also migrating to BeeGFS and CephFS (depending on usage). What I liked most about Gluster was that files were easily recoverable from bricks even in case of disaster and that it said it supported RDMA. But I soon found that RDMA was being phased out, and I always find entries that are not healing after a couple months...

active/active failover
Dear all, I'm rather new to glusterfs but have some experience running lager lustre and beegfs installations. These filesystems provide active/active failover. Now, I discovered that I can also do this in glusterfs, although I didn't find detailed documentation about it. (I'm using glusterfs 3.10.8) So my question is: can I really use glusterfs to do failover in the way described b...

Hi, Red Hat Gluster Storage is EOL, Red Hat moved Gluster devs to other projects, so Gluster doesn't get much attention. From my experience, it has deteriorated since about version 9.0, and we're migrating to alternatives. /Z On Fri, 27 Oct 2023 at 10:29, Marcus Peders?n <marcus.pedersen at slu.se> wrote: > Hi all, > I just have a general thought about the gluster >
