Hi. My company runs FreeBSD 4.6.2 on three different servers. Two of these servers handle a good bit of mail. Currently we use sendmail, but we're moving towards a switch to qmail and maildir. I think maildir will significantly increase the number of files on our disk. We may have to increase inodes. But... Just out of curiousity, at what point does FreeBSD's filesystem become inefficient for large numbers of files in a single directory? 300 files? 1000 files? 10000 files? 100000 files? more? Thanks!
