[Gluster-users] heavy metadata issues?

[Joe Landman]

Hi folks

  Seeing some metadata slowdowns in some cases on GlusterFS 3.0.3. 
These metadata slowdowns manifest in terms of long ls, long stat, long 
rm times for directories with a few thousand files.

  We tried statprefetch at the end of the stack, as well as right after 
the protocol/client, tried increasing read-ahead, etc.

  Is there anything in particular we should be looking to do, in order 
to get reasonable metadata performance under load?

  Thanks!

Joe
