The mailbox storage contains mainly little files, but many of them. As I experienced the stock GFS has not enough performance when you try to open large mailboxes through webmail (Squirrelmail) client, and when the incoming traffic is high the SMTP server starts to starve.

Would've been nice if someone would have told me, but hey.. if you want this as tuneable, use the git version. Judging from your comment though, you're looking for something a bit more sophisticated than on/off, which isn't really feasible. Hi Omar,

I'll give your patch a try and see. It would be nice if gluster would make this a tuneable option to better support a mix of large and small files.
