which is the libfuse version being used with
glusterfs?. Just wanted to know what are the metrics you observed while
testing?, block size in which writes/read were measured during testing?.
etc, <br>

It was <a href="http://patches.gluster.com/patch/664/" target="_blank">http://patches.gluster.com/patch/664/</a>.
A less ugly fix is lined<br>
up for 2.1<br>

<br>
Just curious, are the observed performance improvements in terms of IO<br>
throughput or metadata latency?<br>
