Hi, I have three nodes cluster running GlusterFS v3.7.6 just built and are in the progress running various tests. For the small file test, after ~120,000 64K files written to one volume, access to the volume slow down significantly. "ls -lR /gluster_nj" took 3+ minutes to complete. 120,000 files under ~1000 directories under volume root. Two questions : 1. Any tuning I can do to improve small file meta data query? 2. Right after creation of the 120,000 small files, the gluster CLI function also get impacted: sanlnjpnfsbu01 /etc/glusterfs # gluster volume profile rsvol1 info Another transaction is in progress for rsvol1. Please try again after sometime. I verified no profile command ran on anywhere else in the cluster. Retried the command and getting same error for 30+ minutes. At the time when "volume profile" command failed, I can see below error in etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log : [2016-02-10 20:25:49.757758] W [glusterd-locks.c:577:glusterd_mgmt_v3_lock] (-->/usr/lib64/glusterfs/3.7.6/xlator/mgmt/glusterd.so(__glusterd_handle_cli_profil e_volume+0x2eb) [0x7f401889796b] -->/usr/lib64/glusterfs/3.7.6/xlator/mgmt/glusterd.so(glusterd_op_txn_begin+0x51a) [0x7f40188973ba] -->/usr/lib64/glusterfs/3. 7.6/xlator/mgmt/glusterd.so(glusterd_mgmt_v3_lock+0x1ed) [0x7f4018938add] ) 0-management: Lock for rsvol1 held by 2e3e526a-1e9a-4f6d-abee-c42d84f3bb16 [2016-02-10 20:25:49.757776] E [MSGID: 106119] [glusterd-handler.c:728:glusterd_op_txn_begin] 0-management: Unable to acquire lock for rsvol1 Any idea what's preventing the profile command acquiring lock for the volume?
