[Gluster-users] GlusterFS slowness due to updatedb cron job

[Anand Babu Periasamy]

We have seen at a number of deployments, users experiencing slowness of
GlusterFS over a period of time (as the volume usage grows). Some times it
happens once in a day. This is due to updatedb cron job script that wakes up
once in a day to index all the files it can find. It is configured by default
to ignore network file systems such as NFS and lustre. Please add fuse.glusterfs
to the list.

Edit /etc/updatedb.conf:
PRUNEFS="fuse.glusterfs NFS nfs nfs4 rpc_pipefs afs binfmt_misc proc smbfs autofs iso9660 
ncpfs coda devpts ftpfs devfs mfs shfs sysfs cifs lustre_lite tmpfs usbfs udf
