Dear All-
I have just discovered that the volume I've been having the most trouble
with contains over 3.3 million directories. Most of these are output
from a storm tracking model that produces output in a large number of
directories, each containing a handful of small files. Is this number
of directories in a distributed-replicate volume unusual, and should I
expect it to cause problems for GlusterFS? The layout fix operation
that follows the addition of new bricks takes a very long time
(weeks-months) and seems to result in a high CPU load. The volume has a
capacity of 52TB and the bricks are 3.3TB in size.
-Dan.
