First, try rebuilding your kernel with options UFS_DIRHASH , which will speed up access to files in large directories. If that doesn't work, the standard solution is to create subdirectories. Going to a /f/i/filename.jpg scheme on 100000 files would take your files-per-directory average down to 150. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
