[Moosefs-users] Small file performance is an order of magnitude worse than large files

[Vineet J. <vin...@gm...>]

I have a test instance up with a 5 drives one master and one chunk server.
Large file performance is fine. However when testing with 100,000's of small
files (10k - 100k) I'm getting about 200-300k write performance per drive
from looking at the output of iostat. Is that sound right? Any way to speed
up the writes. It is painfully slow.
