My experience with clustered filesystems is that metadata operations are quite slow. How did you resolve this problem?
During our research and development we also observed the problem of slow metadata operations. We decided to aleviate some of the speed considerations by caching the file system structure in RAM on the metadata server. This is why metadata server has increased memory requirements. The cached metadata is frequently flushed out to logging files on the master server. Additionally, the metadata logger server(s) would also frequently receive updates to the metadata structure and log these to their file systems.
