Streaming fast but directory searches slow = classic filesystem bottleneck. With 3 million files? What's the filesystem underneath your glusterfs? It isn't JFS is it? It is well known that JFS performance degrades linearly with number of files in the filesystem. XFS isn't particularly fast either (for directory searches). You could try to mount with noatime but this will only give marginal improvement. For 3 million files, you probably want ext3 with dir_index option instead. I have 20 million+ files on ext3 with dir_index and its rocket fast to locate any file, even when not cached. "ls -l" in any random directory is practically instant. duclm.vn at gmail.com wrote: > I run streaming 5Gbps normal, but if run 'ls -l' in directory mount > glusterfs then all system very slow. -- -- ============================ Tom Lahti BIT Statement LLC (425)251-0833 x 117 http://www.bitstatement.net/ -- ============================
