Hello,
I serve static content with an Apache server, and store the files in a
storage server, wich is mounted in the webserver via NFS. 95% of the
files that I serve are images, and the format of the file name is
{number}.png.
I have these images all together in a single directory, and there was
about 4 million files in this folder.
I wanto to change this directory structure to something more secure and
dynamic, to permit an easier way to scale and backup these files.
My questions are:
- When the quantity of files will start to become a bottleneck for my
filesystem? ( they are stored in partition with ext3)
- The glusterfs can handle with such kind of situation, with many files
in a single directory?
Thanks
