I agree with Alex.

Also, most of the kernel tunables proposed in that thread are also available in 
the tuned profiles provided by the redhat-storage-server source rpm available 
at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/7Server/en/RHS/SRPMS/

Usually the alignment of XFS ontop the HW raid is quite important and missed.

In my experience, the ovirt optimized defaults are fairly sane. I may change a 
few things like enabling read ahead or increasing the shard size, but these are 
minor performance bumps if anything.



The most important thing is the underlying storage, RAID 10 is ideal 
performance wise, large stripe sizes are preferable for VM workloads, etc... 
You want the underlying storage to be as fast as possible, dedicated cache 
devices are a plus. IOPS and latency are often more important that throughput.



Network throughput and latency are also very important. I don't think i would 
attempt a gluster setup on anything slower than 10GbE, jumbo frames are a huge 
help, switches with large buffers are nice as well. Do not L3 route gluster (at 
least not inter-server links) unless you have a switch that can do line rate 
routing. High or inconsistent network latency will bring gluster to it's knees.



Kernel tuning / gluster volume options do help, but they are not groundbreaking 
performance improvements. Usually just little speed boosts here and there.
