Hi Corey. Thank you for your reply. 800K is pretty significant. Yes,
the reason I want to use the filesystem is to avoid the speed problems
that come from storing images in the database. I can see there really
being no limit when it comes to spreading the numbers thinner but most
concerned about so many in a single directory. References to the
images will come from the database. Do you don't think I should have
any problem with 150 - 175 K in a single directory - no subdirectories
- (just 175K jpg image files of a particular size)? I guess you
definitely don't want to do an ls. Would that crap out the server?
Regards,
David

I've had apps that had over 800k subdirectories and files. As long as
you know the filename, performance will not be an issue. However, if
you don't know the full path, then you may want to either redesign the
app or consider storing everything in the DB. The apps that I've seen
had the full path stored in the database, and the image on a file
server.
I've also had apps that stored everything in the database, and that
turned out to be a nightmare. Eventually, we moved everything from the
DB to the filesystem.
