I am not sure, you can have a look at it: https://github.com/bengland2/smallfile > > Also, wouldn't `--threads 8` change the performance numbers by factor 8 > versus the plain `ls` and `rsync` that I did? Maybe not 8x but it will DEF improve things. I just recycled what was in my history buffer, I just wanted to illustrate that even though you see the stat calls in the strace application behavior can have a big impact on performance. > > Would you mind running those commands directly/plainly on your cluster > to confirm or refute my numbers? I wouldn't mind, but I don't have your dataset. Thats why I wanted to bring in a perf test tool that we could compare things apples to apples. What about running on the data that smallfile creates and comparing that? -b > > Thanks! > _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
