<p class="">Hi,</p>
<p class=""><br></p>
<p class="">We have a set of 4 gluster nodes, all in replicated (design?)</p>
<p class="">We use it to store our qcow2 images for kvm. These images have a variable IO, though most of them are for reading only.</p>
<p class=""><br></p>
<p class="">I tried to find some documentation re. performance optimization, but it&#39;s either unclear to me, or I couldn&#39;t find much.. so I&#39;d copied from the internet and tried to adjust the config to our needs, but I&#39;m sure it&#39;s not optimized.</p>

<p class=""><br></p>
<p class="">We&#39;re using 3.3.1 on top of XFS.</p>
<p class="">The qcow images are about 30GB (a couple of 100GB).</p>
<p class=""><br></p>
<p class="">Can someone please tell what would be the best paramenter for performance to look at?</p>
