It seems that GFS performance may not be so good with lots of small files due to locking issues. Not sure if Kevin Anderson <kanderso@xxxxxxxxxx>'s comments about using RHEL5.3 will have any bearing on this issue or not. I've been following the GFS project since it was first created at the University of Minnesota, went to Sistina, DotHill and other SAN vendors looked into it and built special disk firmware which implemented locking, went closed source, OpenGFS forked it, Sistina got bought by Redhat, OpenGFS sorta died, went open-source by RedHat again...and through all of this I'm still waiting for a stable GFS with decent performance. :) Hopefully RHEL5.3 finally provides it. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
