Comment 30 for bug 705562

Yesterday I tried to do some coverage on the glusterfs part. Lacking any good publicly reachable sources, I ran two m1.small instances as servers and a c1.medium as the client (the main difference between c1.medium and the other 32bit instance types seems to be that this is the only one that got 2 vcpus, of course 64bit instances usually do but there is enough differences in the internals to matter).

Lacking any better test, I ran bonnie++ (without the byte access tests) over the glusterfs. It seemed to be slow but I saw no problems. Still this could be due to the access pattern being different. I wonder, how hard would it be to experimentally provide the fs as NFS share? That might help to rule out the whole glusterfs part or show that it likely is the trigger and just the usage in my test was not hitting the right parts.

Beside of that, if possible, could I see the lsmod output of an instance set up correctly? I think I saw messages about xfs somewhere. So I also ran the bonnie++ test on an disk reformatted to xfs, still not triggering problems.
