Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot performance on GFS clustered filesystem

I've read somewhere that one of gfs2 goals was to improve performance for directory access with many files.

I've tested it doing a simple ls in a directory with many test empty files in gfs and it was _really_ slow, doing the ls on a gfs2 with the same amount of emtpy files is actually faster.

But when I tested gfs2 with bonnie++ I got fewer sequential I/O speed than in gfs (consider that I tested a beta version of gfs2 some months ago, maybe things are better now).

So my conclusion of the tests was that gfs is best with mbox, gfs2 beta with maildir.

But, again, I haven't tested gfs2 improvements recently.
