Re: AFR write speed, ouch!

I assume you're using the newly reworked AFR in the 1.4 branch?

The write-behind translator (on the client, at least) and the "o-direct on" option of storage/posix seem to bring speeds back to something near the old speeds. When I tried, they weren't quite stable, but I haven't tried with the new TLAs from the last week (the last TLA I tried was when the dht translator was just introduced). Last I heard, though, the new AFR still needs a cleanup before it's considered stable.

I did see a post awhile back about the new AFR killing write speeds,
any update on this?

I setup a 2 server (both are server/client) and only mounted the afr
brick on one of them and attempted to untar linux-source-2.6.26.tar...
what took 5-9 seconds on the local disk took over 5 minutes on the afr
mount.

Are there any tricks I can employ? Is there an option to use such as
"i dont care about autonomous locks" or something? Hm I havent tried
WITHOUT afr, i'll go try that, but this seems kind of odd.
