Because a name is a name, why dont they call those files xx/yy/zz/tt.html and the like, to get down to a more reasonable # of files per directory. Or use a single file and a cgi which extracts things from the right place. In such a context, i assume that the best place to do the name lookup is in the app, not in the kernel. cheers luigi > Assuming FreeBSD 4.0-Stable with Soft Updates, what is a sane number that can > be handled per directory? > > > Thanks!! > > Nicole > > > > > nicole@unixgirl.com |\ __ /| (`\ http://www.unixgirl.com/ > webmistress@dangermouse.org | o_o |__ ) ) http://www.dangermouse.org/ > // \\ > ---------------------------(((---(((----------------------------------------- > > -- Powered by Coka-Cola and FreeBSD -- > -- Strong enough for a man - But made for a Woman -- > -- OWNED?
