Hi All,

My FreeBSD system (running 2.2.5R) has a directory that currently contains
around 3,000 files...

This list grows at about a 100 a day... Is this going to cause me any
problems?

The filesystem it's on is part of a CCD array of 2 drives. They weren't
formatted with anything special re. block / inodes etc...

I guess the best people to answer this are going to be the people who run NEWS
etc. on FreeBSD... ;-)


Regards,

Karl Pielorz
