[Gluster-users] Disabling read-ahead and io-cache for native fuse mounts

[Darrell Budic]

Ah, ok, that’s what I thought. Then I have no complaints about improved defaults for the fuse case as long as the use case groups retain appropriately optimized settings. Thanks!

At best read-ahead is redundant due to kernel read-ahead and at worst io-cache is degrading the performance for workloads that doesn't involve re-read. Given that VFS already have both these functionalities, I am proposing to have these two translators turned off by default for native fuse mounts.
