Re: [olug] ¿ Max # of files in a folder?

[Rob Townley]

First, thanks for the help Craig and Pat.   

I guess i should have been clear It is Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 8.
 A sysadmin has run into a performance problem once the number of
files scaled up.  She uses the same software we use, so i was just
trying to avoid the same pitfall.  However, it is not urgent as we are
not in a crisis.  What i came across at support.novell.com had to do
with Netware 4, so i wasn't sure it was relevant since it is now
essentially linux.
