<p dir="ltr">Is this true for both gluster native client and nfs ganesha?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Which is the best for a shared hosting storage with many millions of small files? About 15.000.000 small files in 800gb ? Or even for Maildir hosting</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ganesha can be configured for HA and loadbalancing so the biggest issue that was present in standard NFS now is gone</p>
<p dir="ltr">Any advantage about native gluster over Ganesha? Removing the fuse requirement should also be a performance advantage for Ganesha over native client </p>
