[Gluster-users] Rsync

[Pavan Vilas Sondur]

Can you let us know the following:

 * What is the exact directory structure?
 * How many files are there in each individual directory and of what size?
 * It looks like each server process has 6 export directories. Can you run one server process each for a single export directory and check if the rsync speeds up?
 * Also, do you have any benchmarks with a similar setup on say, NFS?
