Hi, I'm not certain JFS is the culprit here, but at least it's a suspect :-) I have a 150Gb filesystem on software RAID5 with JFS117, kernel 2.4.28. The box is a 4way 500MHz Xeon with 2Gb.
I do a find in a directory that contains 5-600,000 files - which just about makes the box grind to a halt. The machine is not heavily loaded as such, but does write 2 new files/sec to the same filesystem. Or tries to. I fully appreciate that having that many files in a single directory is not exactly the most optimal, but as they are only accessed once a week for deletion (it's a trashcan), I haven't bothered with dividing into subdirs. Anyway, 1) am I right in suspecting JFS in this and 2) is it to be expected? thanks -- regards, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.spamchek.com - let your spam stop here! _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
