We are mounting storage for a (brain dead) application which stores files generated daily on a Filer Volume. The dir has 125,000 files and growing.
The mount point is on a Solaris 2.8 box. What is the limit on number of files in a folder in this context? Anybody know?
I don't know any limit here (either for UFS or NFS). Obviously you start reducing performance on access because there's no file index in the directory, but the lack of an index also means that there's no static table to overflow here.
You might have to increase maxdir size on the filer at some point. I don't know how many files the standard limit will allow.
