It's the restore tree build times that I am worried about, however using GFS even running a directory listing stops everything for several minutes. > On the other hand, building the Bacula in-memory directory tree using the > "restore" command could be *really* slow because to insert each new file in > the in memory tree goes something like O(n^2). Thanks. I have users with other filesystems with upwards of 6 million small files in them, however these don't have large flat directories...
