Same slowness, I ran : filer:~# gcc -shared -fPIC -ldl -o spd_readdir.so spd_readdir.c filer:~# LD_PRELOAD=./spd_readdir.so find /srv/vol -type d |pv -bl I stopped the experiment at +54min with 845k directories found (which gives roughly the same rate of 1M directories / hour, and I know there are more that 2M of them). _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
