Hi Ben, do you know if the smallfile benchmark also does interleaved getdents() and lstat, which is what I found as being the key difference that creates the performance gap (further down this thread)? Also, wouldn't `--threads 8` change the performance numbers by factor 8 versus the plain `ls` and `rsync` that I did? Would you mind running those commands directly/plainly on your cluster to confirm or refute my numbers? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
