Hello, when re-exporting the parallel (network) file-system FhGFS, I noticed a significantly reduced read performance. In the output of strace, I see a stat call between the reads of the blocks of a file. In a network based file system a stat could be expensive. I looked into the source code and I think the stat is done in the method send_file_readX() (file: source3/smbd/reply.c) which calls fsp_stat(). What is the reason for this stat? Is it possible to disable this stat by a configuration option or just avoid it in the code?
kind regards, Frank FhGFS developer -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
