Description of problem: From a Windows 7 client, we experienced a huge performance difference between writing to an EC volume and a 3-way replication volume. Windows 7 -> EC(4+2)volume :22MB/sec Windows 7 -> 3-Way replication :90MB/sec The test method is to copy a 20Gb file to the volume. And the copy speed is from the copy window in Windows OS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHGS 3.2 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. access to an EC volume and a 3-way replicate volume in a windows 7 client 2. copy a big file into EC volume shared directory 3. copy a big file into replicate volume shared directory Actual results: Copy to EC volume will cost longer than copy to 3-way replication volume Expected results: The copy time should be almost the same. Additional info: We also checked this write performance issue from a windows 2012 client, and with no performance difference occurred. Windows Server 2012 -> EC(4+2)volume :100MB/sec Windows Server 2012 -> 3-Way replication :100MB/sec
