I am trying to replace a Windows NT 4.0 server with a Linux based server. I tried with Red Hat 7.3 but even after putting in some patched kernels and utilities the indexed EXT3 directories did not seem to work well. To replace the Windows NT server without rewriting several pieces of software would require the ability to hold a few million files in one directory. In trying to copy the files from the NT server to an out of the box 7.3 installation it started to bog down after about three thousand entries. I have read that an indexing strategy has been added to some kernels and utilities have been upgraded to work with them. I was wondering if Red hat 9 supports them and if so can they handle millions of files in a directory and what is necessary to implement it. Thanks for any help.
