Man..that is pathetically sad.. that a network-connected filesystem beats their own filesystem on a local disk. Now I need to add a Linux network client connected via samba / cifs.

[opensuse] Best filesystem type for HUGE directories?
All, I have a Windows based app we run at our office. It sometimes creates directories with literally millions of small files in one directory. Using a local drive with NTFS it is taking hours to do simple things in that directory. I'm thinking of sitting up a dedicated Samba Server to serve just the data drive out to this windows server. If I did that, what would be the best choice of filesystem? ReiserFS? I know it has been optimized for lots of small files, but I'm not sure about the couple million in one directory scenario.
