Subject: optimal file order for reading from disk
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 12:21:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <42AEBDC4.2050907@draigBrady.com> (raw)

I know this will be dependent on filesystem, I/O scheduler, ...
but given a list of files, what is the best (filesystem
agnostic) order to read from disk (to minimise seeks).

Should I sort by path, inode number, getdents, or something else?

thanks,
Pádraig.
