Can't speak for XFS, but the 4k stack issue was an option, and could be investigated with care. I only found one case where 4k would repeatably cause a problem, and the fix was in the -bk before I had a decent test case. I am going to try XFS in a month or so, I have a chance to bench JFS vs. XFS for an application with 40-50k files in a directory. Hope it works by then if it doesn't now, I'm told BSD works well. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
