How to make SFS read dirs with many files faster?
« on: November 27, 2003, 01:21:32 AM »
Hi Amigans,

a simple question here... I've found SFS very reliable and fast in general terms, however it seems pretty slow when reading directories with many files (100+) and I was wondering if there's something I can move in SFS parameters to make it behave faster on that particular point..

Thanks for your suggestions :)

Cheers,

I use PFS3 myself, but the only way to get more speed is to increase the buffers for the partition. Try 300 to 500, anything more problably will not help much & buffers do consume fast RAM.
