Hi I'm doing a network install of Dovecot 1.1.2. All is fine apart from a little annoying mistake I've found: I do this: > ./configure --prefix=/appli/tools_Linux/dovecot/1.1.2 --localstatedir=/var && make && make install however, since the --localstatedir is equal to a default value, it is still being constructed as "PREFIX/var" for some reason and in

Yes, I have had this in place already (well except of the negative cache, but enabling that did not make much effect). To me, this is no surprise ? nothing can match nfs performance for small files for obvious reasons: 1. Single server, does not have to deal with distributed locks 2. Afaik, gluster does not support read/write delegations the same way NFS does. 3. Glusterfs is

We can't stick to single server because the law. Redundancy is a legal requirement for our business. I'm sort of giving up on gluster though. It would seem a pretty stupid content addressable storage would suit our needs better.

Well, it might be close to the _synchronous_ nfs, but it is still well behind of the asynchronous nfs performance. Simple script (bit extreme I know, but helps to draw the picture): #!/bin/csh set HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname` set j=1 while ($j <= 7000) echo ahoj > test.$HOSTNAME.$j @ j++ end rm -rf test.$HOSTNAME.* Takes 9 seconds to execute on the NFS share, but 90 seconds on

That seems unlikely. I pre-create the directory layout and then write to directories I know exist. I don't quite understand how any settings at all can reduce performance to 1/5000 of what I get when writing straight to ramdisk though, and especially when running on a single node instead of in a cluster. Has anyone else set this up and managed to get better write performance? On 13 March

Andreas, Looking at your workload, I am suspecting there to be lot of LOOKUPs

Hi, Gluster will never perform well for small files. I believe there is nothing you can do with this.

Hi List, I am looking for an option for sshd to start user's shell (when logging in interactively to a remote host) in a control group via cgexec - so for example: /bin/cgexec -g <username> /bin/bash This would be extremely handy on linux Terminal servers to control users access to the system resources (protect system from a malicious user hogging the machine by running cpu/memory

The reason we are also looking into gluster is that we like that it uses standard components

All - I've been wrestling with how to best structure the sip device accounts on a new asterisk server I'm deploying. All of the sip devices (currently only Linksys SPA941s) will reside on the same subnet as the server, and I have already set up a decent automatic provisioning system for the phones. When the rollout is complete, there will be about 100 SIP devices authenticating and

Hi list, I am wondering why do we need Ganesha user-land NFS server in order to get pNFS working? I understand Ganesha is necessary on the MDS, but standard kernel based NFS server should be sufficient on DS bricks (which should bring us additional performance), right? Could someone clarify?

Hi, As I posted in my previous emails - glusterfs can never match NFS (especially async one) performance of small files/latency. That's given by the design. Nothing you can do about it.

Heya fellas. I've been struggling quite a lot to get glusterfs to perform even halfdecently with a write-intensive workload. Testnumbers are from gluster 3.10.7. We store a bunch of small files in a doubly-tiered sha1 hash fanout directory structure. The directories themselves aren't overly full. Most of the data we write to gluster is "write once, read probably never", so 99%

Gluster does the sync part better than corosync. It's not an active/passive failover system. It more all active. Gluster handles the recovery once all nodes are back online. That requires the client tool chain to understand that a write goes to all storage devices not just the active one. 3.10 is a long term support release. Upgrading to 3.12 or 4 is not a significant issue once a replacement

Hi, I currently I have a Samba share configured as follows: [pub_fileshare] comment = Public fileshare path = /u02/pub guest ok = Yes writeable = Yes There is a subfolder under /u02/pub called /u02/pub/expenses/hardware that I need to make read only.

Hello, I'm designing a 2-node, HA NAS that must support NFS. I had planned on using GlusterFS native NFS until I saw that it is being deprecated. Then, I was going to use GlusterFS + NFS-Ganesha until I saw that the Ganesha HA support ended after 3.10 and its replacement is still a WIP. So, I landed on GlusterFS + kernel NFS + corosync & pacemaker, which seems to work quite well. Are
