In theory yes, but the bandwith will also be limited by the nodes between the client and the server.<br>Unless every part of your network can handle 2Gbit, it won't be a good solution.<br><br>You could also try to use two NICs with specific routes. NIC1 knows the route to Server1 and NIC2 knows the route to Server2.<br>
Something like this :<br>eth0 : route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 -i eth0 # Assuming 192.168.0.0 = network containing Server1<br>eth1 : route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 -i eth1 # Assuming 192.168.1.0 = network containing Server2<br>
<br>But I really don't know if it could work as I never tried it before. And, as I said, it also depends on the nodes in your network.<br><br>The most basic configuration would look like this :<br><br> Server1 Server2<br>
| |<br> | |<br> 1Gbit| |1Gbit<br> | |<br> | | <br>
eth0 eth1<br> Client<br><br>In that case, you will double your speed. But again, it's just an idea.<br><br>If you have everything to try it (NIC-teaming and/or NIC specific route), go ahead.<br>
And, please, give me your results as I'm very interested in GlusterFS performances.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Raphaël.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Le 14 décembre 2011 12:55, Marc Muehlfeld <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Marc.Muehlfeld@medizinische-genetik.de">Marc.Muehlfeld@medizinische-genetik.de</a>></span> a écrit :<br>

The GlusterFS client DOES send the data directly to both storage, that's<br>
why your speed is about half the NFS speed.<br>

Can I double the speed of GlusterFS by NIC-teaming (2x 1Gbit)?<br>
