I need some experts hint:
- take a linux server with extFS (debian etch)
- imagine a really huge cache directory with hundredthousands of md5-hashed cache files
will the average php-file_find be accelerated
when reorganising the cache-dir structure with subdirs e.g. the first 2 chars ode the md5-hash?
cache/aa
cache/ab
cache/ac
... thus there would me minimum php-overhead to find the corresponding subdir and the size of the set of cache files could be dramatically reduced.
But is this necessary on modern file-systems?
Could anyone pls. let me know? I would appreciate so I would save efforts for eventually needless tests.
Greetings to all ignited people
