[Gluster-users] Does brick fs play a large role on listing files client side?

[Adam Tygart]

I have compiled and installed the 3.7 kernel with this patch, and I do not
see a difference, at least on a client only level with glusterfs 3.2.7. I
will attempt to do some client/server testing with some repurposed machines
in the next day or two. I hope to test with 3.2.7 and 3.3.1; the only thing
I am still unsure about is if I need some sort of mount parameter to
activate this feature.

Any thoughts?
