Gluster users - Jun 2009 - list files very slow when 400K+ files in Glusterfs 1.3.12

I've bind 6 harddisk to one big volume with unify mode and mount it to /disk
.
After copied 400,000+ files into it /disk/files/ directory ( each file size
is about 500K~1M ),
when I execute then command "ls /disk",
I get no response for serval minitues.

Has anyone ever encountered with this problem?
I want to know how to solve this problem (at least reduce the time of
waiting)?
Has the newest version of glusterfs (v2.0) solved this problem?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I don't have experience with your exact setup especially not with
GlusterFS 1.3 but what you could try to increase performance is

- Update to GlusterFS 2.0.2
- Use newest FUSE (and try GlusterFS patched FUSE)
- Replace the Unify Translator by DHT
- If possible put the files in some subfolders, that should increase
performance when dirlisting

I tried with 4 Servers unified with the DHT Translator and ~20000 files
that were a bit smaller than yours and the performance was reasonable
compared to a single NFS share.
