Yes, but slow. Very slow IMO :-/ To give you an idea : a recursive walk through my Distributed-Replicate 14 x 2 filesystem (2M directories, max 100 per subdirectory) takes several days. > One last thing : hardlinks will be involved to point the files and often deleted. > Does someone has any experience of the troubleshooting I will have to face ? Should be fine. Try to avoid filename renames as that causes a DHT miss penalty. My advice : first build a test setup. -- Hans -- Hans Lambermont | Senior Architect (t) +31407370104 (w) www.shapeways.com
