[Moosefs-users] mfs 1.6.20

[JJ <jj...@ci...>]

Hello moosefs-users:

I have managed to install our first moosefs test system.
I have 3 identical boxes. All
CentOS 5.7 /x86_64
mfs 1.6.20 installed from source.
fuse-devel-2.7.4-8.el5 across all installed via yum.

My client is
OpenSUSE 11.4
mfs 1.6.20 installed from source and
fuse-devel-2.8.5-5.1.i586 install via zypper.

All 3 moose servers have a dedicated 10G ext3 /dev/hdb however I did not 
export anything on the mfsmaster, so I have 20G and 
http://ipa.ddr.ess:9425/mfs.cgi shows the same.

du -sh on my client shows:
mfsmaster:9421         19G 1001M   18G   6% /mnt/mfs

It all appears good.

The problem is that using nautilus to navigate (or from c-li)
"nautilus /mnt/mfs " results in a > 5 minutes to show content?
umounting and remounting doesn't seem to help or affect it.

ls -al /mnt/mfs is very responsive however.

I am following some hints I found at 
http://contrib.meharwal.com/home/moosefs

I have assigned a VirtualIP to my moose hosts and the networking seems fine.
I am accessing mfsmaster using the forward-facing/public IP from my client.

Is there something else I need to investigate?
Thank you for your time.
