Re: [Gluster-devel] Infiniband throughput

[Anand Avati]

Nathan,
 please post your performance numbers on a point-to-point glusterfs setup
(non replicated). We can tune it further from there. Your setup has
replication on the server side and the throughput you achieved is
considering the replication.

thanks,
avati
