Are your performance tests on NFS or on native Lustre clients? Native Lustre clients will likely be faster, and with many clients they can create files in parallel, even in the same directory. With a single NFS server they will be limited by the VFS locking
for a single directory.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Are you using IB or TCP networking? IB will be faster for low-latency requests.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Are you using the Data-on-MDT feature? This can reduce overhead for very small files.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Are you using NVMe storage or e.g. SATA SSDs? Based on the OST size it looks like flash of some kind, unless you are using single-HDD OSTs?</div>

<div class="">I have noticed a feature called "MIP-IO" that can improve small file performance, but I don't know how to deploy this feature. Is there any way to improve small file performance\uff1f</div>
