We use dynamic files no problem - yes I suppose in certain circumstances there is an overhead, but it would still be faster than a badly sized static file. The conclusion we have is if you are really on top of your file sizes and administrating things daily there is probably less need for dynamic files. If however you have hundreds of accounts and files then dynamic files are easier to admin and hence probably faster in the long term.
Symeon. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of doug chanco Sent: 22 July 2008 16:36 To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted! hey all, I have "heard" bad things about using dynamic files versus hashed/static ones. Can anyone share any thoughts on which is better (in particular on a system where the files grow at a fairly steady rate). I always understood that dynamic files were best on files that did not change "that much that fast " as the constant need to resize would outweigh the manual effort of resizing the files manually (or with a program). I am looking for insight (or where to find some insight) on universe and best file practices (right now I am reading the system description manual and its helping but lacks insights that I am sure some of the old pickies on here have) so any thoughts/suggestions/ideas/comments are welcomed! thanks dougc ps universe 10.1 and aix 5.2 ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ No virus found in this incoming message.
