you can look at the syscalls used by running it through strace and looking to see what it's doing. $ strace -Ttf sh -c 'echo *.txt' $ strace -Tt find -name '*.txt' that said, this is the coreutils group which doesn't maintain either `find` or `sh` or `bash`, so you'll want to try one of the other groups. or talk to the glusterfs group to see what aspect their fs is not as good at. -mike
