Hi all,
I really need your advice.
I have to store over a million files, 10 - 15 kb each, in one folder.
The files are created by my php script, sometimes the old files are
deleted and new ones are written.
So, basically on every connection my script reads/deletes/ writes files
from/to that folder.
Right now i have only around 300 000 files in that folder, and it feels
like its getting slower for that script to work. It does work at the
moment, but i am not sure what will happen when there is over a million
files there...
Are there any limits of files that can be stored in a folder?
Would it be better for me to use mysql? I am not sure how mysql will
cope with millions of writes/reads
What would you recommend?
Thank you very much!
p.s.I am running linux, fedora core 3
