A good filesystem to use as pseudo-db is ZFS. It's designed to have practically limitless number of files, and it's snapshotting/cloning come in really handy for things like backups etc. Also you get full checksumming.
- fnj 10y agoZFS does have a hard limit of about 280 trillion files in a single directory. It's actually just about the most confining limit it does have.
- anilgulecha 10y agoCorrect. Hence, practically limitless.
- bbcbasic 10y agoNo one will ever need in 280 trillion files. Ever.
