In orangefs-2.8.3-EXP, when we create a file , we will call the function
PINT_cached_config_get_meta_handle , and it just randomly select the server to
store the meta data regardless of the size of its parent directory.So we can
conclude that the inode of a file in a directory may store in different
Metadata servers , even though the directory contains a few files.
So I want to know why should pvfs2 use this method to select a metadata
server to store the inode?
I just know that there is no need to use this method when the directory is
very small, in this case , it may even reduce the system performance ._______________________________________________
