Bad idea. ext2 does a sequential scan of the directory when looking for a file, so this will blow up on you. Organize your files in a tree of directories (f.ex. by first character in name, or some hash function). -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Viña del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
