I'll echo Jayce^'s statement about ReiserFS and add that using a multi-level directory scheme will improve access times. So instead of dumping all the files into one directory they are sorted by name: file-000001 -> 00/00/file-000001 file-234567 -> 23/45/file-234567 Probably two levels of indirection will be enough. Squid uses this method for managing its cache.
