[Lustre-discuss] chmod and chown

[Nikolay Kvetsinski]

Hello Andreas, sorry for the late reply. As you suggested it was a matter
of sync_permissions. After disabling sync_permission recursive chmod and
chown operations are taking "normal" time to complete. Thank you very much
for the info. On a separate but somehow close issue, can you suggest any
tuning on speeding up "stat" and "listdir" operations. We are using a
python script, which go es thru  a folder structure with a lot of files and
dirs. It uses "os.listdir", which is essentially posix ls. I`ve read in the
manual about directory statahead and agl. I`ll try later today or tomorrow
playing with the window size. Also a simple "time lfs ls" shows faster
execution time than "time ls", so I`ll probably have to talk with the dev
guy about implementing "lfs ls" instead the posix ls.

Cheers,
Nikolay
