[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS 3.0pre1 (Whats in 3.0)

[Harshavardhana]

Nathan,

    aio with directio is still work in progress which can be tracked here
    http://git.gluster.com/?p=users/csaba
/linux-fusehacks/.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/topic.directio1
    This needs to be fixed in the fuse kernel module itself.  I think this
is what you were
     looking at perhaps.

    Well disable-direct-io can be done away as since 2.6.26 fuse kernel
module supports
    big_writes which even with disabling direct io you get good performance.


Regards
