Hi,
We have a 2-node NFS ganesha cluster (using CTDB), that I recently inherited
administration for.
Most of our internal users are satisfied with the performance, but one particular user has
had all sorts of performance related issues affecting their adoption and usage of the NFS
shares. From initial analysis, this seems to be a problem of loading (because it occurs
during intensive reads/writes of large datasets, such as during rsync transfers or backup
reads).
So far, I have not yet been able to establish whether the problem is due to the number of
files or the volume of data, and I am now setting up test client nodes to try and
reproduce the client's issues.
I googled around seeking information on tuning (kernel, NFS, OS, etc), but cannot seem to
find any at all. Please, can someone share some insight into how to go about trying to
optimize the performance of ganesha. Also, would appreciate any insight /suggestion on
how best to benchmark the performance.
Thanks in advance
