http://press.uchicago.edu/ - Built using Magnolia 4.4.2 which uses JackRabbit 1.6.4 as the data store. We are using the file system blob store. The blob store tends to create a ton of directories which makes file system backup/restore quite slow. I believe the partitioning scheme used assumes millions of files, which does not behave well for smaller size repositories. For instance, we have only about 15K files in our system, and for the most part each file ends up two levels deep in a directory structure with no other files at that same level. In other words, for each file there are two extra directories in addition to the file itself. Hopefully, JR will introduce some sort of configuration that would control the directory partitioning scheme they use. Rakesh
