[Linux-cluster] GFS - Small files - Performance

[Leonardo D'Angelo Gonçalves]

Hi

I have a GFS cluster on RHEL4.8 which one filesystem (10G) with  various
directories and sub-directories and small files about 5Kb. When I run the
command "du-sh" in the directory it generates about 1500 IOPS on the disks,
for GFS it takes time about 5 minutes and 2 second for ext3 filesyem. Could
someone help me with this problem. follows below the output of gfs_tool
Why for GFS it takes 5 minutes and ext3 2 seconds ? Is there any relation ?
