Re: [Gluster-devel] Performance issue

[Raghavendra G]

Hi Ben,
Can you send us log files of client and server? Do you observe lots of
"bailing transport" kind of messages in the client log file? It seems that
your transport-timeout value in protocol/client is very small and causing
the bailouts of file system operations. In that case, can you try with
default value of transport-timeout (just dont specify the option in
volume-spec file)?

regards,

A centipede was happy quite, until a toad in fun,
Said, "Prey, which leg comes after which?",
This raised his doubts to such a pitch,
He fell flat into the ditch,
Not knowing how to run.
