Ludwig, 12,000. Been using that magic number for a long time. AFAIK, the file system can handle that many, but rm/ls and other userland utilities might have difficulty handling it. I know in Linux, specifically rm, will complain of too many files.
As Orly mentioned, ZFS + Solaris/OpenSolaris is a good combination. userland utilities and the file system can cope with that amount with ease. regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 1:09 AM, Ludwig Isaac Lim <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi: > > We're try to implement a large file server.
