Thanks for the hint of a directory split in a way similar to a hash-table, I hadn't thought about it and it would solve the horrible 50'000 files/directory. Choosing the host platform is not an option though... so the filesystem also not.
It may also be a performance problem, depending on whether the directory is searched linearly or sequentially for a named file.Overall these 50'000 only bother if you look at it.
Where I am rather making hopes is for the small-sized chunks for which making a full-file is a waste on several file systems which have minimal sizes of 512 bytes, and some 4Kb... Of course I could write my library for this, with java.nio most probably, but I was hoping VFS or some other library to help me there.Could you elaborate on your scenario. Perhaps the usage patterns lend towards a given pattern.
