- After working with SFS for a few months now I have a number of questions which
- I'd appreciate any help on. So thanks in advance for any help on:
-
- 1. When reading up on SFS it seemed that at a certain point response
- time will be much better for a directory controlled directory than
- for a file controlled directory. So far we have worked with file
- control directories with small amounts of files but are now
- starting to look at setting up some new directories which would
- contain many more files (over 2000 large compiles for a start).
- Does any one out there know a what point response time would
- noticeably slow down for file control directories? If it slows
- down on one directory would it also slow down on other directories
- as well?
-
- 2. How does SFS search for a file in file control directories.
- Does it first look for the sub-directory and then tree
- down to the file? If this is true, does making more sub-
- directories increase search speed?
-
- 3. Are there any SFS Adminitration classes?
-
- 4. When using the REVOKE command to revoke authority for a userid
- on a sub-directory, then any access that the SFS administrators
- have to that sub-directory gets broken (and they have to re-access
- before using). Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
-
- 5. I've seen the discussion on this but still wonder: Is there any
- way to cause Xedit and COPYfile to look first at access rather
- than at authority?
-
- 6. Is there a way to cause DIRList to use update locks rather than
- exclusive locks?
