Hi, Seeming as the list is teeming with activity at the moment, and no, in the UK we are not experiencing network issues, I thought I'd wade in. I am trying to design a files system that is based around database records. Each record within the DB could have up to 9 files (possibly more). The best design I can come up with would mean that a directory would end up with 9,999 files in. Is that going to cause performance issues? The current file system ext3. Would anyone suggest a limit I should set for the maximum or say if they think 10K files is acceptable? TIA, Dp. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
