How many files in a directory is too many?

It depends a bit on the specific filesystem in use on the Linux server. Nowadays the default is ext3 with dir_index, which makes searching large directories very fast.

I found this data in several other forums, e.g. This one.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
