[Moosefs-users] mfs read and write times

[Zachary W. <zw...@ha...>]

Right now my school research group is testing the functionality of MFS.  We
are new to linux and distributed file systems such as MFS.  We have a basic
test system of one master, one metalogger, 2 chunkservers, and 1 client
machine.  Regarding read/write times, so far the read times have been
significantly faster than the write times for the 1 GB files we are
testing.  Is this normal?  Is it because of caching?
