Hi,
Does the gluster team have any feedback about this? Resolving the "Found anomalies" issues may be key to resolving dir list speed issues.

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
