Dear Yan and Stefan,

thanks for the additional information, it should help reproducing the issue.

The pdsh command executes a bash script that echoes a few values to stdout. 
Access should be read-only, however, we still have the FS mounted with atime 
enabled, so there is probably meta data write and synchronisation per access. 
Files accessed are ssh auth-keys in .ssh and the shell script. The shell script 
was located in the home-dir of the user and, following your explanations, to 
reproduce the issue I will create a directory with many entries and execute a 
test with the many-clients single-file-read load on it.

I hope it doesn't take too long.

Thanks for your input!

just

ceph daemon mds.x dump_ops_in_flight
ceph daemon mds.x dump cache /tmp/cachedump.x

no

It splits large directory to smaller parts.
