We are looking to deploy some new storage servers and was wondering if anything have any experience worth sharing with GlusterFS ? We are looking to setup a infrastructure we can scale quickly while it stay cost effective

Its probably best if you stress test it for your specific use case. It worked for us for particular cases but heavy IO and bonnie++ it was not usable.

Ceph may be an alternative worth looking at btw

what is the purpose of glusterfs on your system? You want to build a big storage replicated on some servers?

Thanks I did look into that but it appeared it was outperformed by Gluster. Under which scenarios did Gluster cause problems for you ?
