Some time ago, ext2/3 became capable of organizing directories as binary trees rather than linked lists. Is tree lookup standard in Debian, or does one have to choose a special, non-default option when creating the file system on a new partition?
I have a collection of about 1.5 million files, and need to decide how to organize them. There won't be much activity. It will be an archive, but linked list would probably be unacceptable for this number of files even in an archive. (User would forget why he want to look at the file before it finally opened ;-) Advise welcome. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
