I have a problem here whereby there's more than a million files in a single folder. Any action that require a listing of the directory will practically hangs on attempt; e.g. opening that particular folder in windows explorer.
I'm thinking if there is any way to split the files into folders, each containing 10,000 files?
If you're wondering how this scenario happens. The front end clients do ftp PUTs into that folder 24/7.
