Gluster users - Oct 2010 - Small files and BDB translator

Hi,
we are going to upgrade our 6 server running 3.0.5 to 3.1.
We store a lot of medium to big size files on the storage and it works fine.
We tried in the past to store milions on little files too and then
retrieve them, but performance were bad.
Documentation report the bdb translator:
http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Translators/storage/bdb

Is this translato ready for production? Is it compatible with 3.1?

Thanks in advance,
R.F.

BDB translator is not up to date with 3.1 releases, and we are not working
on it as of now.

Please use native NFS server for small file performance. Using NFS client's
client side caching, your small file performance should increase a bit.
