It's true - if you don't have some sort of directory-hashing
(UFS_DIRHASH in FreeBSD-land) in place, which for FreeBSD has been
default since sometime in the early

Hey Ismail,
I would like to see some stats on this. Do you have any facts or

a directory should not be a problem. Most employ hashing of some sort
to speed up this kind of thing. On my FreeBSD system there is

You can add the following lines to the your script (I don't know what
kind of script (perl, shell etc) do you use, so
OK, fair point. So let me ask this please.
If I migrate with big-dirs DISABLED, then I recompile to enable big-dirs
AND I move some accounts into subfolders a, b, c, etc while making
appropriate adjustments in vpopmail table, is that an appropriate way to
control this risk?
THANKS!
Dave,
What is the problem with big-dirs while migrating the users?
If you can tell us the reason of the disabling big-dirs,
We can try to find out a solution without disabling big-dirs.
I guess it is related with the script?

Sure,
I've tried to get vconvert to work on the source server, but it's a
really old version of vpopmail and the files for the users on an NFS
mount in a non-standard folder. There are other issues with the source
configuration, but in short, they have all 7000 users in one primary
domain
Dave,
Please note that creating 7000 sub directories in a single directory will
effect your performance negatively.
