Hi, I have a large library of photos (>100,000, Real Estate) and at the moment I'm storing them in a big dump split up by a few directories. I'm getting to the point where I have ~8000 files per directory. I was wondering whether I should write some kind of hashing function and have lots and lots of directories, or whether it's best to have more files per directory? Also, if anyone knows of a Free image/media storage system that I can use, that would be wonderful. I also looked into storing them in a mysql database, but I'm pretty sure it couldn't handle it.
