Hi Vikas, Thanks for the response. I am having performance issues upon migration to gluster. Follwoing should explain the issue. There are scripts running which access data from the gluster mount point . Earlier NFS was used . With NFS the scripts seem to have no problem getting completed faster but when same scripts run accessing same data from gluster it runs about 3-4 times slower . Mostly the scripts do stat/unlinking/renaming operations on files. Number of files would be roughly 25k withe average file size 40KB . What can be done to increase the speed/performance ? Regarding stat-prefetch is the following usage correct ? volume afr type cluster/replicate subvolumes A B end-volume volume stat-prefetch type performance/stat-prefetch subvolumes afr end-volume Thank you. -Paras On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 1:42 AM, Vikas Gorur <vikas at gluster.com> wrote: > Paras Fadte wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Which ?settings in AFR in ?gluster directly affects performance when >> there are lots of "ls" and "stat" calls made on files mounted using >> gluster? >> >> > > There isn't any setting in afr that can affect ls or stat performance.
