here are my quick thoughts. First, to solve your AFR performance problem, use only 2 bricks per AFR use unify (or DHT) to combine your multiple AFR bricks into a single representation. for your loads of small files use the Berkeley DB translator, as it's apparently much faster for small files. ( you may need to use the switch scheduler within unify to make sure the right files get to the right bricks.) Beyond that, hopefully someone with a deeper understanding of all the translators can help At 05:18 PM 1/4/2009, aka_Red=5FLion wrote: >Hello! > >There is a challenge to build a robust network-based storage >glusterfs.
