I have tried this....it works fine....but as i have SCSI disk it makes almost not difference (at least no with ext2) i have now come to the problem of how many files inside a directory can hold a fs before the directory gets too heavy to read (as you do lots of read/write operations) my application can generate more that 200000 files in the same directory, if this gets heavy in rw, i could try to separate the files inside various subdirectories.... thanks....
