Millions of files in one giant directory isn't optimal in any filesystem I've ever heard of. I bet your giant untuned ext3 filesystem didn't have directory indexes enabled, which is highly reccomended for dirs larger than a few thousand entries.

Gidday,
Are you using ext4 for production system? Or is it better to opt for a more
conservative strategy, like ext3 for instance?
What are your experiences?
Thanks in advance,

Hey everyone. I am in the process of setting up an iSCSI SAN to function as a log storage device for a number of servers. All of the initiators see the volume, and originally I formatted it with ext3 and went on my merry way. However after some research I'm having concerns that I should nuke the... (1 Reply)

Hello,
we got a MD3000i used as a network share between two servers (say A and B). The problem we are facing is that file/directories created by server A are not visible on server B (and viceversa). It's not a problem with permission (chmod 777 doesn't help).
The MD3000i was at first used ony... (0 Replies)

Hey everyone.
I am going to be using XFS for a project coming up. We're running RHEL 5.5. Simply typing
modprobe xfs
works just fine. The kernel module loads without any issue. Is there any issue with doing this and inserting "modprobe xfs" into /etc/rc.modules?
Is there a major reason to... (0 Replies)

Had ext3 filesystem and had converted it to ext4 by issuing following command

I have a RHEL6 VM that requires the use of remote storage using iSCSI and XFS for the mount point. Here's the issue:
With XFS you can't use the _netdev option for your mount point (pause for network) so my mount point doesn't mount properly because the network isn't up yet. I've moved the... (3 Replies)

E2UNDO(8) System Manager's Manual E2UNDO(8)
NAME
e2undo - Replay an undo log for an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem
SYNOPSIS
e2undo [ -f ] [ -h ] [ -n ] [ -o offset ] [ -v ] [ -z undo_file ] undo_log device
DESCRIPTION
e2undo will replay the undo log undo_log for an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem found on device. This can be used to undo a failed operation by
an e2fsprogs program.
OPTIONS
-f Normally, e2undo will check the filesystem superblock to make sure the undo log matches with the filesystem on the device. If they
do not match, e2undo will refuse to apply the undo log as a safety mechanism. The -f option disables this safety mechanism.
-h Display a usage message.
-n Dry-run; do not actually write blocks back to the filesystem.
-o offset
Specify the filesystem's offset (in bytes) from the beginning of the device or file.
-v Report which block we're currently replaying.
-z undo_file
Before overwriting a file system block, write the old contents of the block to an undo file. This undo file can be used with
e2undo(8) to restore the old contents of the file system should something go wrong. If the empty string is passed as the undo_file
argument, the undo file will be written to a file named e2undo-device.e2undo in the directory specified via the E2FSPROGS_UNDO_DIR
environment variable.
WARNING: The undo file cannot be used to recover from a power or system crash.
