Is there anything to do to optimize the read for small files in a replicated gluster setup? The files reside allready on the server in question in the brick. Something like disable diverse checking for files that I know are not updated often? For example web files like images uploaded through the CMS. These files are uploaded once and never modified again...

kind regards

A bunch of small files is terrible performance. Really not much you
can do about that. Store each mailbox in a single file. MailDir format
is definitely going to suck.

Hi,

I am currently looking into GlusterFS to use as a storage cluster for our
email storage. I want to mount the storage from different servers (or VMs),
services accessing the storage include exim, courier-imapd, courier-pop3d.
Our emails are stored in MailDir format, which is many small files. I have
read that GlusterFS doesn't perform very well with small files, is this
still the case?

I would like to achieve similar (or better) performance to our current NFS
setup, with the added redundancy that GlusterFS provides.

Is there any utilities I can use to test the performance?

Thanks in Advance
