Hi,

I have a general Linux question that could apply to any platform.

>From a performance standpoint, would linux perform better if you
have two filesystems each with N million files or one file system
with N*2 million files on it.  This would be purely the way the
file systms are maintained by Linux.  Please ignore performance due to
different drives/channels/partitions, etc.

Put differently, does the performance of a file system degrade as
the number of files in it increase?

Thanks in advance.
Aria
