SID-02059: TWiki on Gluster filestore

Hi,

I have been running twiki for some time now using version 5.1.4, I recently migrated the twiki filestore over from local (host based) filestore to Gluster backed replicated filestore using NFS to mount it to the webserver and the performance has gone from well under a second to load a page to about three seconds.

I am well aware that this is likely to be an issue somewhere between NFS and Gluster but am wondering if anyone here is using Gluster and has any tips on performance tuning specifically for use with Twiki.

Thanks

Paul

Discussion and Answer

I am not familiar with Gluster. NFS can be a bit slower though.

Comparing to a load-balanced TWiki setup, try to move the twiki/working/tmp to a local volume. For testing move the whole twiki/working and fix the $TWiki::cfg{WorkingDir} in configure or twiki/lin/LocalSite.cfg. The working dir has stuff that needs to be replicated too, so you would need to patch the TWiki core to separate out twiki/working/tmp from twiki/working - but moving the whole working dir to test performance is fine.
