[Gluster-users] Shard storage suggestions

[Gandalf Corvotempesta]

AFAIK gluster store each shard on a single directory.
With huge files this could lead to millions of small shard file in the same
directory that certainly lead to a performance issue.

Why not moving each shard in a dedicated directory and may be also with a
defined nested structure? In example, from this:

/.shard/*d218cd1c-4bd9-40d7-9810-86b3f7932509*.1

To something like this:

/.shard/d/d2/*d218cd1c-4bd9-40d7-9810-86b3f7932509*/
*d218cd1c-4bd9-40d7-9810-86b3f7932509*.1
