On a related note there are filesystems that handle many files/directories very quickly. They use alternate tree data structures that behave quicker. ReiserFS is one of them. I believe XFS does quite well too. FreeBSD should have adapted XFS in addition to ZFS. ZFS is a resource monster. Shame, really. XFS is freely available in Linux for a number of years. Hammer, the new FS for FreeBSDs is available for DragonflyBSD. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
