We're finalizing our user directory tree structure, and would like
to know what other large sites are doing. We're thinking of
making a directory off the top called user, and then two levels of
subdirectories based on the first two letters of the person's
username.
For example, username 'daniel' would be in
user/d/a/daniel
Username 'mark29' would be in
user/m/a/mark29
With 60,000 users, we need a sensible way to distribute the users
so that we don't end up with very large directories. Yet we need
to balance that with ease of navigation for our users.
Would anyone share how they manage the user space?
Daniel
