[Gluster-users] Problem no. 1

[artur.k]

> During this time, most likely, gluster is auto-healing the server 
> that was down.
> Unfortunately, it seems, the process for it doing so has changed in 2.0.
> I guess it's more robust, but it's also more time consuming.

> Previously, files were only healed when you accessed that file.  now, 
> it seems files are healed when you access a directory.

> So---- when lighthttp accesses a file x in directory Y,
> gluster not only auto-heals file x, but also ALL the other files in Y.
> It blocks the IO request until it's healed the entire directory.
> This is the safest thing, but what it should do is heal the file we 
>  need, return back to the application, then continue auto-healing the 
> rest of the files.

> I've no idea if they're going to change this or not (or if it's too 
> difficult), but it is kind of a pain having processes sit waiting 
> while unrelated files are being dealt with.

With so many files, it takes 20 min. The files are up to 100KB. You may want to optimize ??
