Hi all, Here is another version of patched FUSE from the GlusterFS team. http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/fuse-2.7.0-glfs2.tar.gz This version of FUSE, along with patch-432 or above should give improved performance for write operations. In particular 'cp' and 'rsync' should work better for large files (> 1MB). Please note that for NFS re-export compatibility, you will have to run 'glusterfs' with "--direct-io-mode=disable" command line arguments. thanks! avati -- It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law. -- Hofstadter's Law
