Take any Windows-based server no matter how powerful and place a lot of
files in a single directory. You will see quickly that it doesn't
matter how powerful the server is if the filesystem doesn't scale. BTW,
this doesn't just affect Windows filesystems. Many *nix filesystems
have problems scaling with a lot of files although they do seem to
handle more files than Windows. Of course, if any needs a system to
handle a lot of files efficiently --even if those files are spread
across directories-- then I would suggest using ReiserFS, which scales
beautifully with lots of files.
