Hi all, I know that the usage of the GFS has been discussed for long time on this mailing list but I would like to know if it is normal to have a very slow start (15 minutes) with just 4300 users (the cyrus db is composed of 20940 lines). It happens only with the GFS and the skiplist database; using the flat it takes few seconds to start. The system is composed of 2 IBM x3550 with redhat enterprise linux 5.1 attached to a SAN IBM DS4700 with an dual fibre channel (4Gb/s multipath active-backup). The dump of the database takes 7 minutes but the disk usage is definitely low (less than 5%) RedHat is saying that there is no way to optimise the performance on the GFS locking architecture and they will now take a look to the cyrus code. Do you have any tips?
