Glusterfs fuse slow, how you handle data access in vm?

[czechsys]

Hello,
I tested glusterfs 3.8.5 on 4.3 proxmox. Storages are dedicated fast supermicros with intel 3510 ssds, proxmox is hp g6 server. Fio performance inside vm through libgfapi is good. But if i connect storage inside vm through fuse, i am getting only 10% fuse performance of the libgfapi in random rw mode (tests are 75/25 read/write). Its almost unusable for sharing data between www servers.
Any idea or how do you handle this?

Thanks.

Have you tried NFS mounting your GlusterFS volume? Instead of FUSE?

 

[czechsys]

Good point. I tested fio read/write and results are better. Too bad, nfs-kernel-server crash on randrw tests...Problem is, can't use in-built nfs because there is drbd array exported via nfs-kernel-server...

Try with NFS-Ganesha, that is using libgfapi and not FUSE

NFS-Ganesha is problematic now, because we are fully Debian and there are missing packages/dependencies for that, even when source is glusterfs download repozitory.
