Yeah, I would probably go with XFS as well. At my former workplace, we had more than 32000 customer mail boxes for a particular mail domain and with a typical mail directory structure (e.g. example.org/peter, example.org/john, example.org/jane, etc), one will run into a subdir limitation with ext3. For example, try this on an ext3 filesystem: mkdir /tmp/foo; cd /tmp/foo; for x in $(seq 1 32005); do mkdir $x; done You should see output similar to this: mkdir: cannot create directory `31999': Too many links mkdir: cannot create directory `32000': Too many links mkdir: cannot create directory `32001': Too many links mkdir: cannot create directory `32002': Too many links mkdir: cannot create directory `32003': Too many links mkdir: cannot create directory `32004': Too many links mkdir: cannot create directory `32005': Too many links -- B/R, Frederik Dannemare ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
