Hi, I'm using fuse-2.7.2glfs9 and glusterfs-1.3.8pre5 .. Using AFR and "option read-subvolume" I'm expecting to be able to tell a client which server to prefer to read data from. Although this seems to work for pure data, it does not appear to work for file-system information .. so "dd" on a large file is quick and "ls" is very slow. Can anyone tell me if "read-subvolume" should affect filesystem data and whether there is a way of speeding up what I'm doing. i.e. can I tell it which volume to prefer for filesystem information lookups? (effectively this is a read-mostly server running over a slow link .. basicall reads are good, "ls"'s are impossibly slow) tia --- Server --- volume brick-raw type storage/posix option directory /vols/home/export end-volume volume brick type features/posix-locks subvolumes brick-raw option mandatory on end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp/server option auth.ip.brick.allow <ip's> subvolumes brick end-volume --- Client --- volume brick1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host brick1 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume brick2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host brick2 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume afr type cluster/afr subvolumes brick1 brick2 option read-subvolume brick1 end-volume volume writebehind type performance/write-behind option aggregate-size 131072 subvolumes afr end-volume volume readahead type performance/read-ahead option page-size 65536 option page-count 16 subvolumes writebehind end-volume -- Managing Director, Encryptec Limited Tel: 0845 5082719, Mob: 0785 3305393 Email: gareth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Statements made are at all times subject to Encryptec's Terms and Conditions of Business, which are available upon request.
