I think your assumption that "Linux handles this effectively" > is flawed and I'd like to see hard numbers which prove otherwise; > you should demand no less. i think, based on the number of files per directory, that they reference reiserfs as theri filesystem -- which i would not use for mission critical storage. on toasters, it's fast as hell, but for real data storage i would stick to ufs+softupdates since this turned out to be the most stable solution i had my hands on in the last years. linux evangelists keep telling the public that reiserfs actually would be a production quality fs and this is simply not true, IMVHO. /k -- > An open mind, like an open mouth, does have a purpose: and that is, to > close it upon something solid.
