Saving a lot of photos

Wow, this is really new for me. Looks hard. I'm kinda dizzy about this threat, I'm keep reading about this.
I want to do step by step this, like a guide.

1) Like Edemilson Lima said, let's start with an empty folder (00000)
2) With a little script we can assign a folder for our photo
3) Assign a server using load balancing
4) After upload create thumbnail, resize, etc...
5) Like darksky0 said, then we are going to save the photos details in a db with:
id
file name
size
date
author
...
folder name
server location
6) With other script we can get the url of the photo and show it

As you see, I didn't understand pretty much about the load balancing thing


I asked to Cal Henderson (flickr's programmer) about this threat, he told me to check mogileFS (www.danga.com/mogilefs/)

Thanks
