cd to mount point taking long time

Question

In our environment when we do cd to /abc directory it is taking long time.

/abc is the mount point for storage device.

even when we do df -h it is taking long time to display the results.

What could be the problem.

Regards,

Pratap

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

In general, when you mount an NFS the data must travel by the network, your blob storage is an "NFS" located in another data center (if your environment is on-premises), so latency is expected.

Also, it will depend on the configuration of your storage account, your environment, and the network.

Hope this helps!

@ Pratap Lakshminarayana Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting our query here!

Performance issue may occur due to several reason!

I would recommended to use Azure Blob Fuse to mount, It has greater performance impact and lot of features.

Mount an Azure storage blob container or datalake file system on Linux.

• Basic file system operations such as mkdir, opendir, readdir, rmdir, open, read, create, write, close, unlink, truncate, stat, rename
• Local caching to improve subsequent access times
• Streaming to support reading AND writing large files
• Parallel downloads and uploads to improve access time for large files
• Multiple mounts to the same container for read-only workloads Troubleshoot performance in Azure Storage accounts Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
