So, we're trying to serve home directories, and some directories with applications from our gluster cluster, mounting as glusterfs. This is stuff we've done quite happily from nfs previously. The main use of the gluster is to serve large image files and it's great for that but the piddling little files that in the homedirs and applications are much slower (~10x) than the previous nfs. This is measured as the time it takes for the application to start, rather than anything low-level. It feels to me that it's the same kind of thing that's been mentioned here before, but it doesn't seem to have been answered. Should we expect this behaviour? Is there anything we can do to improve things? We're on 3.1.1, haven't done much in the way of tuning from defaults. Cheers David -- David Lloyd V Consultants www.v-consultants.co.uk
