Running linclust on NFS

[marcmk6]

Hi,

I'm running linclust on a cloud instance with network file systems. I'm wondering which --db-load-mode should I use to alleviate the I/O bottleneck of NFS.

--db-load-mode INT              Database preload mode 0: auto, 1: fread, 2: mmap, 3: mmap+touch [0]

Thanks

--db-load-mode won't help in this case. The parameter handles loading of precomputed indices of (search) databases. Normally, we don't use precomputed indices for clustering.

Ideally the tmp folder should be on a local drive, that's the only optimization you can reasonably do.
