The situation I have is as follows:
I have a 600Gb filesystem mounted on /var - key directories under /var are:
/var/spool/postfix-in/{incoming,active} with 2 levels of hashing. On a busy day or after delays, each subdir might easily reach 10.000 files. 99% small files of less than 100Kb. (emails).
/var/spool/elsewhere/dir{0,1,2,3...1000}/maildirs - each such maildir might have 100.000 files.
It would make sense to test several filesystem types with that workload. Years ago I would have said without hesitation "use reiserfs". Nowdays, I don't know which to suggest. Perhaps XFS. But your system is in production, so you can not do such changes... -- Saludos/Cheers, Carlos E.R.
