the files around). The new directory is arranged as ./spool/hostname/m/me/mike.xml where the first fanout directory under hostname is the first character of the username, and the second fanout directory is the first and the last characters of the username. Pretty simple.
A better directory naming scheme is
# I compute some hash function on filename
hash=md5sum("mike.xml")# I use the first four bytes of computed hashes for directory names ./spool/hash[0..1]/hash[2..3]/mike.xml
In this way users' files will be uniformelly distributed all over tree, without risking of having too crowded or empty branches
