I don't know if this info is useful, but;
I have a directory with 150K files in it, and can open files in it without
noticable delay (this is not through postgres). Before setting up this dir,
i tried to find out the limit of how many files is sensible. I couldn't
find any info so just thought i'd try it, and it appears to work fine. If
you think I am going to hit problems (I am serving jpgs from this directory
for a web site), please let me know.
running on
Red Hat Linux release 5.2 (Apollo)
Kernel 2.0.36 on an i686
