I don't think you are doing something wrong. We tried the same (serving rails apps off of gluster mounts) and performance was terrible. Since there is no lock manager in gluster, the gluster client needs to check all server nodes when the file is accessed locally. This kills performance with many small files. cheers Paul -- this message was sent from my 7 years old Dell D800
