[Gluster-users] Number of shards in .shard directory

[Lindsay Mathieson]

Looking at migrating all our VM's to sharded gluster storage, 2.5TB of 
data in total. Underlying storage is zfs (on linux).

Small scale testing has been going well but one thing I am unsure of is 
whether a *large* number of small files in one directory is going to be 
a problem. If I migrate everything to a 4MB shard size there is going to 
be 655360 files. Will that be a problem for gluster? or for zfs?
