Hello:
I have a large amout of image files that will be stored in Solaris machine. I read some posts here, but still not sure what to do, please advise. Thanks.
The question is:
shoudl i put all these files in as many level of directories, or put in 2-3 level directories? i.e. which one is better in terms of performance (search a file)? below?
1) top_dir
d1---d10 (5000 files in it)
----d20 (5000 files in it)
----d30 (5000 files in it)
d2---d40 (5000 files in it)
---d50 (5000 files in it)
---d50 (5000 files in it)
d3---d60 (5000 files in it)
---d70 (5000 files in it)
---d80 (5000 files in it)
....
2) top_dir
d1---d10 (10000 files in it)
----d20 (10000 files in it)
----d30 (10000 files in it)
d2---d40 (10000 files in it)
---d50 (10000 files in it)
---d50 (10000 files in it)
a file is from 50k to 1.5MB in size.

general guide line will be good.

thanks
