Howdy gentooers, |

I am looking for a filesystem that perfomes well for a cache directory. |
| 4 |
Here's some data on that dir: |
| 5 |
- cache for prescaled images files + metadata files |
| 6 |
- nested directory structure ( 20/2022/202231/*files* ) |
| 7 |
- about 20GB |
| 8 |
- 100.000 directories |
| 9 |
- about 2 million files |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The system has 2x Intel Xon Quad-cores (Nehalem), 16GB of RAM and two |
| 12 |
10.000rpm hard drives running a RAID1. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Up until now I was using ext4 with noatime, but I am not happy with it's |
| 15 |
performence. Finding and deleting old files with 'find' is incredible slow, |
| 16 |
so I am looking for a filesystem that performs better. First candiate that |
| 17 |
came to mind was reiserfs, but last time I tried it, it became slower over |
| 18 |
time (fragmentation?). |
| 19 |
Currently I am running a test with btrfs and so far I am quiet happy with |
| 20 |
it as it is much faster in my use case. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Do you guys have any other suggestions? How about JFS? I used that on my |
| 23 |
old NAS box because of it's low cpu usage. Should I give reiser4 a try, or |
| 24 |
better leave it be given Hans Reiser's current status? |
| 25 |

Thx in advance, |
