Re: [tlug] how to tune reiser4 for millions of files?

[Michal Hajek <hajek1@example.com>]

thanks for comments. I agree completely that the analysis program may be
faster than ls. 

Right now the program is running, so I will let it run and wait for the
new (i.e. better written) application. 

In the meantime I may try mysqlfs. Also, as Patrick suggested, I have
tried find + xargs:

this yields the result in something like 30 min, which is a great
improvement compared to those 6+ hours which I spent with simple "ls -l"
and _without_ any result. Unfortunately, this knowledge cannot be used
directly for the analysis program. But I am glad I have learned about
it.  

I did not realize immediately, that "find ." will find "." directory
too, thus producing the listing twice - i.e. once for files and once for
"ls ." . So after the first listing I have killed the command. That was
about 30 min. after start, as mentioned above. 

Best regards
