For this, do the following: 1. select a LOOKUP Call 2. enable the 'packet details' pane (found in the main menu, 'view') 3. expand the 'Transmission Control Protocol' tree 4. check the 'Source port' of the LOOKUP Call Together with the 'Source' and the 'Source port' you can go to the server that matches the 'Source' address. A command like this would give you the PID of the process in the right column: # netstat -tpn | grep $SOURCE_PORT And with 'ps -v $PID' you can check which process is responsible for the LOOKUP. This process can be a fuse-mount, self-heal-daemon or any other glusterfs-client. Depending on the type of client, you maybe can tune the workload or other options a little. In Wireshark you can also check what filename is LOOKUP'd, just expand the 'GlusterFS' part in the 'packet details' and check the 'Basename'. Maybe this filename (without directory structure) does give you any ideas of which activity is causing the LOOKUPs.
