I've got a HPC type set up with four nodes and a distributed-replicated configuration. Performing developer type actions is disfunctionally slow on the volume. Below is the configuration: Volume Name: home Type: Distributed-Replicate Volume ID: 83fa39a6-6e68-4e1c-8fae-3c3e30b1bd66 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 x 2 = 4 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: ir0:/lhome/gluster_home Brick2: ir1:/lhome/gluster_home Brick3: ir2:/lhome/gluster_home Brick4: ir3:/raid/gluster_home Options Reconfigured: server.statedump-path: /tmp performance.cache-size: 512MB performance.client-io-threads: on For example, configure runs take tens of minutes instead of fractions of minutes. I've tried setting lookup-unhashed to off or no without a significant performance change. Does anyone have any performance tunings or suggestions for making gluster based home directories usable for developers? Also, the documentation is unclear as to if lookup-unhashed should be set to yes or on, vs no or off. Some things indicate one way, some the other. boolean options should no allow multiple values to be set. Thanks! Joel
