Well, you can use geo-replication to sync files from master (a GlusterFS volume) to a directory tree on a remote slave. Due to the overhead of syncing xtime (geo-rep's way of versioning ), large number of small files are sync'd in an non optimal way. There is a tunable that speeds this up but to use that the slave needs to be GlusterFS volume. In that case doing this would speed up things: # gluster volume geo-replication <master> <slave> config use-rsync-xattrs On Thanks, -Venky ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alexander Sopicki" <asopicki at googlemail.com> > To: Gluster-users at gluster.org > Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 10:47:03 AM > Subject: Recommended settings for geo-replication for > folders with lots of files > Hi, > I'm currently using GlusterFS in an installation and it works quite > well.
