[MooseFS-Users] Bananapi as Chunkserver

[Wolfgang <moo...@wo...>]

Hi List!

I'm currently experimenting with 8x Banabapi [1] (similar to Raspberry 
Pi Computers) as my Chunkservers
and a virtual Ubuntu as Master.
Advantage of Bananapi to the better known Raspberry Pi is 1Gbit NIC and 
the direct SATA support for 2.5'' HDD's (Sata and Power plug) [2]
I'm using it in my private Gbit LAN at home.
Performance for sequental data stream (dd if=/dev/zero ...) and goal=1 
is good - but performance for goal = 2 is just abt. 20MB/s and with 
small files coming from attic backup [3] is poor ~ 2MB/s)
Write performance (dd) direct on one of my nodes to the SATA disc is 
abt. 50MB/s

Is anyone in the list also fiddeling around with this type of setup?
Is there any configuration which I can do to get more performance? (more 
nodes?)

Thank you.

Greetings
Wolfgang
