//Sys RHEL 5.3 ~1000.000.000 files (1-30k) ~7TB in total // Hi, I'm looking for a best practice when implementing this using EXT3 (or some other FS if it shouldn't do the job.). On average the reads dominate (99%), writes are only used for updating and isn't a part of the service provided. The data is divided into 200k directories with each some 5k files. This ratio (dir/files) can be altered to optimize FS performance. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
