The filesystem I'm working with has about 100M files and 80Tb of data. What kind of metadata latency do you observe? I did a mmdiag --iohist and filtered out all of the md devices and averaged over reads and writes. I'm seeing ~.28ms on a one off dump. The pure array which we have is 10G iscsi connected and is reporting average .25ms.
