Description Nithya Balachandran 2019-03-15 10:55:47 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1651048 +++

Description of problem:

When one compares performance of glusterfs's readdir (operations like 'ls', find) with other local filesystems, the performance difference can be very high. Gluster performs slower than other solutions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
<ALL>

How reproducible:
Depends on the usecase, where there are lot of files.


Actual results:
Slow 'ls'


Expected results:
Acceptable performance from 'ls'.
