[Moosefs-users] Performance issues and gvfsd-metadata

[Steve W. <st...@pu...>]

Hi,

About a week ago we started seeing poor performance on one of our 
MooseFS installations.  We use MooseFS for user home directories and two 
users had problems with the gvfsd-metadata daemon rapidly 
creating/writing/deleting files in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata.  A 
quick search on the Web shows this to be a common problem.  The 
recommended fix is to kill the gvfsd-metadata daemon and then remove the 
~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata directory which will be recreated later as 
needed.

Hopefully this information will come in handy for anyone else 
encountering the same problem.

Regards,
Steve
