Is there a way to tune XFS filesystem parameters to better address the usage pattern of 10000s of tiny files in directories such as: maildir directory mh mail directory ccache directory My understanding is that XFS will always be much slower than reiserfs with respect to deleting 10000s files; but that XFS might be possible to tune toward more rapid read access of 10000s of tiny files.
