The glocks are disposed of automatically on an LRU basis when there is enough memory pressure to require it. You can alter the amount of memory pressure on the VFS caches (including the glocks) but not specifically the glocks themselves. The idea is that is should be self-tuning now, adjusting itself to the conditions prevailing at the time. If there are any remaining performance issues though, we'd like to know so that they can be addressed, Steve. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
