I'm having a bit of a puzzle here.
I've setup a 1 server, 1 client test. The server exports 4 bricks and a namespace volume, and the client unifies those (see specs at the bottom). The namespace directory actually sits on the first partition, so I would expect that partition to show twice the number of consumed inodes compared to the other partitions. But what I'm seeing instead is a threefold consumption:
That is a bit of wrong math. No of inodes in NS = No of directories in any child + No of files in all children. It is not directly proportional to any one child. The namespace should be put on a partition where you can create LOT of small files. Generally XFS or reiserfs will do a good job. If you are using ext3, format it with a very small block size. thanks, avati -- Anand V.
