I'm testing xfs for use in storing 100 million+ small files (roughly 4 to 10KB each) and some directories will contain tens of thousands of files. There will be a lot of random reading, and also some

Yes, the goal is fast read performance for small files. This is highly appreciated, thank you very much. I'm running vendor a supplied kernel of 2.6.22 and a quick test shows the unsupported feature

..... I'd suggest wasting 20% of disk space and staying with 4k block size. Large directory block size (-n size=XXX), esp. if you are putting thousands of files per directory.... Cheers, Dave. -- Dav

That makes no sense. Inodes are *unique* - they are not shared with any other inode at all. Could you explain why you think that 256 byte inodes are any different to larger inodes in this respect? No

Inode I/O in XFS is done in *8k clusters* regardless of inode size. We _never_ do single inode I/O and hence you logic completely breaks down at that point ;). Inode clustering is a substantial perfo

That sounds like a good use for a LDAP database, but using Berkeley DB directly may be best. One could also do a FUSE module or a special purpose NFS server that presents a Berkeley DB as a filesyste
