Hi,

I have a program that writes lots of files to a directory tree (around 15 
Million fo files), and a node can have up to 400000 files (and I don't have any 
way to split this ammount in smaller ones). As the number of files grows, my 
application gets slower and slower (the app is works something like a cache for 
another app and I can't redesign the way it distributes files into disk due to 
the other app requirements).

The filesystem I use is ext3 with teh following options enabled:

Filesystem features:      has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype 
needs_recovery sparse_super large_file

Is there any way to improve performance in ext3? Would you suggest another FS 
for this situation (this is a prodution server, so I need a stable one) ?

Thanks in advance (and please excuse my bad english).
