I'm working on a file system that will keep most of the tree in memory at all times (in fact, the "active" tree is only in memory). It archives frozen temporary copies to a disk partition until it gets full (in which case the oldest is discarded) and an external program is going to make permanent archives in venti.
I'd like to know how many files do you have in /active and how big is your /active tree in the machines you are using (even though they might not run plan 9, I don't care about that). thanks for the info. PS: send it directly to me, I'll summarize here if people wants to know.
