We are using a 32 bits architecture, can it be the cause of the kernel not having enough memory ? Any possibility to change this behavior ?

strace -p PID -ttt -T

Attach and get some timings. The simplest guess is that the system lacks memory to cache all the inodes
and thus has to hit disk (and more importantly take cluster locks) for the same inode repeatedly. The user
guide has a section in NOTES explaining this.

Hello,

We are running OCFS2 1.8 and on a kernel UEK2. An ls on a directory containing approx. 1 million of files  is very long (1H). The features we have activated on the filesystem are the following :

May inline-data or xattr be the source of the problem ?

Thank you.
