I share Michael's curiosity as well, but I think it might be possible to
disable the precreate functionality using config file options if you
really need to (not recommended):
Set the FileStuffing option to "no" to prevent the file system from
using the file stuffing optimization that relies on precreated objects:
http://www.pvfs.org/cvs/pvfs-2-8-branch-docs/doc//pvfs-config-options.php#FileStuffing
And then also set the PrecreateLowThreshold to 0 to prevent the servers
from trying to fill up their respective pools of precreated objects on
startup:
http://www.pvfs.org/cvs/pvfs-2-8-branch-docs/doc//pvfs-config-options.php#PrecreateLowThreshold
I have never tried that particular configuration so I can't say for sure
if it will work or not.

Hi Cengiz,
I'm curious, what's the use case for needing the precreate
functionality disabled? Migration from an older version?
Thanks,
Michael

Thank you,
