Hi, I'm running some alrger tests with ceph-fuse on FreeBSD, and noticed that I start to run into directory splitting I think? I just Rsynced my full src and ports tree into it, which is like > 1.000.000 small files. At least I saw a rather large number of directories with relatively few files in them. I know from UFS that large directories used to be a problem, although some of the issues on FreeBSD have been fixed long ago. So can anybody explain the rationale behind this process and give a bit of a feeling why we start splitting at 320 files?? FreeBSD's filestore runs of ZFS, and From waht I've seen thusfar is that ZFS has a different (better) behaviour with large directories. (I once ended up with > 1.000.000 security cam pictures in one directory, and that still was sort of workable.) So has there been any testing to quatify the settings? And how would I be able to determine if ZFS deserves better/larger settings? --WjW -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
