Clearly a directory hierarchy is the only way to make this work, and Kirk's idea of partitioning the space by segmenting the hash seems as reasonable as any. So far I'm very surprised to find that performance may be reasonable. But what do you mean by "external fragmentation"? If you're thinking of NFS, I'd rather cut myself than attempt something like this on NFS, even though Kirk says it's supported. ------=_Part_139208_27005338.1155341528673--
