I wanna talk this out. What do you mean about "100,000 files in a directory willcause you performance problems"?
NetApps (running the current code) have problems with directory files larger than 8Mbytes. How many files this is depends on the length of the filenames. I believe that they are tring to fix this problem
For those on release 4.x.
If anyone running usenet news (or with a real need for this sort of thing) is interested, please email me directly for information about a kernel we are testing. We could use a couple more people to help test the kernel out, and you might win some performance in the process.
I would prefer candidates who can give feedback on performance within a fairly short period of time (i.e., your filer should be very busy as I write this note.)
Thanks, Ken.
