Hi , i have a big question about how to build a good directory and file-structure, just to get the best performance out of GlusterFs.I want to put a large amount of pictures and videos on the LUN so it´s very mixed up between small and large files.There will be about 11TB of Files on the Lun.So how many directory’s and subdirectorys are a good value to create and how many files am i allowed to put in before GlusterFs is slowing down.
I suspect that will probably be more dependant on your underlying file system. What are you planning to use? ext3? xfs?
In general, though, more than about 1000 entries per directory becomes difficult to manage, not to mention that ls (especially ls -l, which requires a stat() call) will start to take forever.
