Hi. My company runs FreeBSD 4.6.2 on three different servers. Two of these se= rvers=20 handle a good bit of mail. Currently we use sendmail, but we're moving=20 towards a switch to qmail and maildir.=20 I think maildir will significantly increase the number of files on our di= sk.=20 We may have to increase inodes. But... Just out of curiousity, at what point does FreeBSD's filesystem become=20 inefficient for large numbers of files in a single directory? 300 files? 1000 files? 10000 files? 100000 files? more?
