I have a directory with over 180,000 files in 4 subdirectories. Over 170,000 of the files are in one of the subdirectories. The files are image files, mostly <50K. The machine has 2 GB RAM. What would be a reasonable setting for vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem? Is there a disadvantage to setting vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem too high? Is there any other setting to change to find files faster in a directory with such large number of files? Thank you for your advice. -- Janos Dohanics
