Hi folks I am building a website for deployment on FreeBSD. The site will contain over 40,000 jpegs. My question is this - for best disk-read performance, how should I structure the directories? - How many sub-directories can you place in a directory, and ... - How many files can you place in a sub-directory ... ... before performance begins to degrade? For ease of admin it would be convenient to place all the jpegs in one directory, but I assume that this would be unwise. I would be more than grateful for any advice Thanks Geoff Caplan British Goldsmiths geoff@productivity.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
