From within Ceph, into Ceph? Or are you simply copying from Ceph to somewhere else? Am copying data from a linux machine to ceph.

Its doesn't matter whether i am doing cp/rm in a short. Whenever i run those commands they run really slow. > > Cheers, > Joao -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
