["Greg Freemyer" <greg.freemyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I have a Windows based app we run at our office.

It sometimes creates directories with literally millions of small
files in one directory.  Using a local drive with NTFS it is taking
hours to do simple things in that directory.

I'm thinking of sitting up a dedicated Samba Server to serve just the
data drive out to this windows server.

If I did that, what would be the best choice of filesystem?  ReiserFS?
 I know it has been optimized for lots of small files, but I'm not
sure about the couple million in one directory scenario.

Thanks
Greg
