more details about "No metadata dependencies" ??

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



there is a section about metadata on page http://www.gluster.com/news.php

"No metadata dependencies - metadata management is frequently a source of performance bottlenecks, particularly when there are a very large number of files, and can be a single point of failure in traditional file systems. GlusterFS eliminates this problem with intelligent data placement, an automatic data distribution method that optimizes the use of resources and eliminates metadata bottlenecks."

yes,it's a advantage of GlusterFS. but yet i found no more detailed information about the "intelligent data placement" "an automatic data distribution methed". could anyone explain it in detail? and something about file managemment~~~

i put the question in dev-maillist in which i hope someone could explain it at the point of a developer.  the problem confuses me some days~~
thanks in advnace !
