We have seen at a number of deployments, users experiencing slowness of GlusterFS over a period of time (as the volume usage grows). Some times it happens once in a day. This is due to updatedb cron job script that wakes up once in a day to index all the files it can find. It is configured by default to ignore network file systems such as NFS and lustre. Please add fuse.glusterfs to the list. Edit /etc/updatedb.conf: PRUNEFS="fuse.glusterfs NFS nfs nfs4 rpc_pipefs afs binfmt_misc proc smbfs autofs iso9660 ncpfs coda devpts ftpfs devfs mfs shfs sysfs cifs lustre_lite tmpfs usbfs udf -- Anand Babu Periasamy GPG Key ID: 0x62E15A31 Blog [http://unlocksmith.org] GlusterFS [http://www.gluster.org] GNU/Linux [http://www.gnu.org]
