Hi, I'm wondering how complicated it woul be to create a translator that would cache data on the local disk. Especially in our use case I think this would reduce the gluster and network load immense. But I might be wrong. What is special in our setup is, that the files we put on the cluster do never change; some get deleted somtimes, though, but seldom. Most of them stay forever, writes are low, reads are high. I still have no good idea about how often a "cache hit" might occur, but surely some of the files will have them. The files itself are rather small (images of some kb or small text files of only a few 10 bytes). Thanks, Sascha
