Large directory sizes suck on NFS and parallel file systems like Panasas, Lustre, GPFS, and the like. Python and Rust's Cargo also suck on networked file systems and would be greatly improved by pushing things into a sqlite file.
- deckard1 6y agomost things suck on networked file systems. I still have trauma from having to use NFS more than a decade ago, on systems that would freeze on boot because the network couldn't be reached or the NFS server was down. I'd also never put sqlite on NFS. Locking is often broken on NFS. Unless you can guarantee a heterogeneous environment. I can imagine some Excel guy in marketing is going to launch his SQLite UI on Windows and completely hose it all.
