h drive had terrible througput.
But there are other alternatives. I use a kingston 4GB
compactflash card as a disk, and it reads 22MB/s, according to
specs and tests with hdparm. And it writes 16MB/s.
Much better than the sorry thing in that test, about the same
read speed as their worst platter-based harddisk. And of course it still have
the nice seek times of non-rotating media. :-)

simply count
how many you need before migration. (And add a decent safety margin.)
That's what I do with my home machine ask disks wear out every third
year or so. The tools for ext2/3 tells how many inodes are in use,
and the new fs can be made accordingly. The approach works for bigger
machines too of course.

an hang the kernel and/or
mess up any process. As for exploits - an in-kernel exploit
is even worse than a root exploit. There are plenty
of thing even root can't do - at least not in
straightforward ways. The kernel has no limitations
whatsoever for what may go wrong.

Then why have files and directories in the first place?

purposes (view it, mail it off, serve it on the web,
edit it, print it) and the thumbnail doesn't get in the way
because it isn't embedded in the file format. Embedding it
in the file might work for jpeg which support generic embedded data,
it surely won't work for every image format out there.
This is my idea of how file-as-directory should work.

-directory extras will provide patches for "tar" and friends,
after that the extras become useable.
