[Gluster-users] How many files can be created in a directory

[Dongmin Yu]

Hello,

 

I'm wondering how many file I can create in a directory and if there's
performance issue as number of files growing.

 

Another question is, GlusterFS has any nice way to find files with a
prefix through glusterfs client in a directory and subdirectory ?

I'm using recursive readdir and I'm afraid to scan whole directory to
find files which start 'xyz'.

 

 

Thanks
