Re: [CentOS] files in a directory limitation

Don't know what you're after - but I've found that having over about 1024 files in a directory gets sluggish on a number of filesystems.

So when I write code (EG: databases) with file attachments, I use an algorithm that results in < 1024 files per directory.

Just curious but is there a limitation on the number of files in a directory? I am using ext3.

I'm not concerned about file size just the number of files.

Thanks,
