Stumbled upon https://forge.gluster.org/samba-glusterfs/samba-glusterfs-vfs/commits/masterwhen trying to find info on how to make Gluster and Samba play nice as a general purpose file server. I have had severe performance problems in the past with mounting the Gluster volume as a Fuse mount, then exporting the Fuse mount thru Samba. As I found out after setting up the cluster this is somewhat expected when serving out lots of small files. Was hoping VFS would provide better performance when serving out lots and lots of small files.
Is anyone using VFS extensions in production? Is it ready for prime time? I could not find a single reference to it on Gluster's main website (maybe I am looking in the wrong place), so not sure of the stability or supported-ness of this.
