Hi,

There is a discussion at the BackupPC Mailinglist why the nightly
cleanup of the backup Pool takes so much more time against ext3.

Here is the thead:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4144370&forum_id=503

The pool directory looks like:

cpool/0/0/0/0001257ca4eff2a5c9b60797fa034275

I tested:

find /MY/CPOOL -type d -exec stat {} > /dev/null \;

and it takes around 170 minutes on my 30 gb pool with 687847 files.
I looked with debugreiserfs at the metadata and it seems that ca. every
fivest file has an hash collision, but i never saw more than on
collision per directory.

Is there anyting to speed this up on large directories ?

regards
~ Daniel
