Slow access to directories with high number of files
2007-12-24 21:19:00
I run a very old C application on a Netra with Solaris 8. This application
creates a huge amount of files in the same directory each day. I can count
more than 500 000 files that I can not suppress in the busiest directory of
the application. Each access to this dir is VERY slow and slows all the IO
subsystem. I know it's way too many files, but is there a way I can optimize
the way Solaris access a directory with a lot of small files? I do not have
access to the code of the application so I can not recompile, that would
have been too simple.
Thank you, I will summarize.
