    I tried 1.4.3 and 1.4.4, similar slow results.
    <br>
    <br>
    The bug you mentioned looks slightly different to me - it's about
    problem with posix_fadvise() support on 32bit machines. In my case,
    it's lack of fallocate() on old kernel. All our nodes have 64bit OS.
    <br>
    <br>
    If confirmed, it could be helpful to mentione somewhere on the
    official page that minimum supported CentOS version is 6.x. I hope
    that someone from OpenStack can confirm it.

    Thanks,

              Armando,<br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Thanks for sharing your experience. It's interesting to
              hear that you run 5.5.<br>
              <br>
              My problem is Swift performance (only Swift, I wasn't
              interested in Nova). I couldn't get beyond 6-7 writes/sec
              with 5 node Swift cluster running on CentOS 5.7
              (2.6.18-238.19.1.el5) and with RF=3. After troubleshooting
              for a couple of weeks, we came to conclusion that CentOS
              5.x is not supported. See my explanation here: <a
                moz-do-not-send="true"
                href="https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg06303.html">https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg06303.html</a><br>
              <br>
              Right now decision was made to upgrade to CentOS 6.x, but
              it will take a while.<br>
              <br>
              Did you run any performance tests at all? Would be
              interesting to see some swift-bench figures if available.<br>
              <br>
              <br>
              Many thanks,<br>
              Rustam.<br>
