Operating Systems HP-UX Potential file system contention on directory Post 302469907 by DGPickett on Monday 8th of November 2010 03:41:06 PM

Well check for big directories in this logical tree:
Code:
$ find * -type d -follow | xargs -n999 ls -ld | sort -nr +4 -5 | head

----------------
Recreating the directory tree has the advantage that directories will be low in every directory, shortening directory transit time. If a directory has many files and then a directory is added, it is a long search every time that directory is located. Of course, this points to the wisdom of keeping big collections of files in leaf directories, where nobody will be traversing.

The full name of the directory. The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes that your application uses. attribute-value The value of a particular attribute. The value of an application- defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute. See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses. If you enter a byte data type, you must enter an even number of digits in length. You can only enter pairs of hexadecimal values for user-defined attributes. DESCRIPTION
The add directory command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory. If the attribute does not exist, this command creates it. Usually, this task is performed through the client application. See the DCE Admin- istration Guide for more information about attributes. Privilege Required You must have write permission to the directory. NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. EXAMPLE
To add the value ontario to the attribute myname of a directory named /.:/sales, read the cds_attributes file to verify that the attribute shown in the following display exists: OID LABEL SYNTAX 1.3.22.1.3.91 myname char Enter the following command to assign the value ontario to the attribute myname: cdscp> add directory /.:/sales myname = ontario RELATED INFORMATION
