Hello,

@Krutika: Thanks for transferring my issue.

Everything is becoming completely crazy; other quotas are exploding. Indeed, after having remove my previous quota in failure, some other quotas have grown up as you can read below:

[root at lucifer ~]# gluster volume quota vol_home list
                  Path                   Hard-limit Soft-limit   Used  Available
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/baaden_team                              20.0TB       90%      15.1TB   4.9TB
/sterpone_team                            14.0TB       90%      25.5TB  0Bytes
/simlab_team                               5.0TB       90%       1.3TB   3.7TB
/sacquin_team                             10.0TB       90%       8.3TB   1.7TB
/admin_team                                1.0TB       90%      17.0GB 1007.0GB
/amyloid_team                              7.0TB       90%       6.4TB 577.5GB
/amyloid_team/nguyen                       4.0TB       90%       3.7TB 312.7GB


[root at lucifer ~]# pdsh -w cl-storage[1,3] du -sh /export/brick_home/brick*/sterpone_team
cl-storage1: 3,1T	/export/brick_home/brick1/sterpone_team
cl-storage1: 2,3T	/export/brick_home/brick2/sterpone_team
cl-storage3: 2,7T	/export/brick_home/brick1/sterpone_team
cl-storage3: 2,9T	/export/brick_home/brick2/sterpone_team
=> ~11TB (not 25.5TB!!!)


[root at lucifer ~]# pdsh -w cl-storage[1,3] du -sh /export/brick_home/brick*/baaden_team
cl-storage1: 4,2T	/export/brick_home/brick1/baaden_team
cl-storage3: 3,7T	/export/brick_home/brick1/baaden_team
cl-storage1: 3,6T	/export/brick_home/brick2/baaden_team
cl-storage3: 3,5T	/export/brick_home/brick2/baaden_team
=> ~15TB (not 14TB).

Etc.

Do you please help me to urgently solve this issue because this situation is blocking and I must stop the production until.

Do you think upgrading storage cluster into 3.7.1 (the latest) version of GlusterFS could fix the problem?

Thanks by advance,
Geoffrey

> So you are seeing this bad performance only in 3.5.3? Any other releases you tried this test on, where the results were much better with replication?
> Yes but I’m not sure my issue is only concerning this specific release. A few days ago, the untar process (with the same version of GlusterFS) took around 8 minutes, now around 32 minutes. 8 was too much but what about 32 minutes? :)

> In addition, i dunno if it can be important, I have some troubles with GlusterFS group quota: there are a lot of conflicts between quota size and actual file size which dont match and a lot of "quota xattrs not found" messages with quota-verify glusterfs app. -you can find in attachment an extract of quota-verify outputs.
