title: How can I improve Glusterfs performance with small files?
body: <p><p> I am new with glusterfs.</p>
  
  <p>I have two glusterfs server with one volume called vol1. And the vol1 was was mounted with  client servers ( using fuse ) which end users where uploading their data. </p> <p> Here is my issue:- Gulsterfs performance is really poor with  smaller files. for an eg:- getting 20 sec to execute "ls -l | wc -l" against 4580 files ( each files less than 10 KB ). On the other hand I didn't have any issue with bigger files size. </p></p>
  
  <p> It will take few second to execute the same command against the files if i copied those to my root volumes. </p>
  
  <p>My Glusterfs server is running  on cloud and both servers has 1GB connectivity. And the version i am using is glusterfs 3.7.16. </p>
  
  <p><p> I really appreciate if anyone can guide me to improve the gulster performance with samllerfiles  </P></p>
