Bug 265935 – sys-fs/fuse: Performance Patch

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Richard Scott 2009-04-13 02:30:45 UTC]

Hi,

There is a patch available on the GlusterFS website that will increase the throughput available to a fuse mounted filesystem.

http://ftp.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/

Would it be possible to include this into the main fuse ebuild?

I have tested it with adding the following to the 2.7.4 ebuild:

epatch "${FILESDIR}"/fuse-2.7.4glfs11.diff

It seems to work ok and you can find out more about the patch here:
http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Guide_to_Optimizing_GlusterFS#Tuning_FUSE_kernel_module

Thanks

Rich

Reproducible: Always

It wouls be good if there could be a USE flag for glusterfs, when enabled the patch is applied.

The patch will incrase performance on all applications that use fuse not just for glusterfs.

Thus would help with gluster on Gentoo.

I'm closing this because I don't think it's an issue anymore with the latest glusterfs and fuse packages in the tree since fuse-2.8 removed the out-of-tree fuse module. Please reopen if it is.
