I just finished a craigslist type website for one of my clients, its for college students to list their stuff, books, etc. When someone uploads a picture, the pictures ALL get saved in the same directory. It just occured to me, what if theres 10's of millions of images sitting in one directory, or even 10's of thousands. Can ext2 or ext3 handle something like that? Will this cause memory problems? The directory will never be read, like ls does. File paths are stored in the db, so pictures will be accessed and deleted directly. Thoughts?
