Hi,

I am working on a 4.4-RELEASE. I have about 30,000 1K
files in a directory. Any delete or move operation on
a file in this directory introduces unacceptable
delays in some other time-critical processes that I am
running on the machine.

I am assuming that the delay is because of the large
number of files due to which it takes a longer time to
update the inode information and, delete and move
being atomic operations, they do not relinquish the
CPU for the other processes during that time.

If the problem is what I think it is then is there a
way to overcome this problem by tuning some parameter
or something?

I am not sure if this is the right mailing list to ask
this question on. If it is not, then I would
appreciate someone pointing me to right one. 

Thanks
-Vishal
