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 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
