hi I read ( I think in dovecot wiki) that ext2 or ext3 fs on a 2.4 kernel can get slow due to the number of files in a directory. Does anyone know if kernel 2.6 has similar limitation? I'm not at that point now, but before the box goes live, I'm wondering if I should resolve that. Glenn
Quick answer:
ext3 with dir_index is fine. this link has some nice speed comparision: http://lwn.net/Articles/10904/

p.s.: my personal preference is XFS.
