Huge number of files in a directory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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)

- When the quantity of files will start to become a bottleneck for my OS?

- Suggestions?

Thanks
