Hi Artem,

I was wondering if the 4th replica  is adding additional overhead (another dir to check), but the test is not very conclusive.


Actually the 'anomalities' log entries in your pool  could be a symptom of another pdoblem (just like the long listing time).

I will try to reproduce your setup (smaller scale -  1  brick 50k files)  and then will try with 3 bricks.


Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
