No, probably not. (ext3 is not quite perfectly scalable as size grows, but I think that will be the main limit.) Perhaps expiry will get slower as the cache grows? It seems likely you will get diminishing returns, eg files being cached that were built by compilers that are no longer installed and never likely to get installed again. -- Martin _______________________________________________ ccache mailing list ccache@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache
