I understand that things can be very different from a HPUX to a RHEL. But I do have the same behavior. I know that it's not taking any space on my filesystem, as seen with the du command. But since ls is reporting a number, I was wondering if there was a downside using that directory instead of creating a new one. Performance wise and not disk space wise. Does the filesystem check somethings beforehand related to that number on the directory that could impact performance in the long run?
