| 9 | Tahoe storage servers use a large number of subdirectories to store their |
|---|
| 10 | shares on local disk. This format is simple and robust, but depends upon the |
|---|
| 11 | local filesystem to provide fast access to those directories. |

| 14 | ==== |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | For moderate- or large-sized storage servers, you'll want to make sure the |
|---|
| 17 | "directory index" feature is enabled on your ext3 directories, otherwise |
|---|
| 18 | share lookup may be very slow. Recent versions of ext3 enable this |
|---|
| 19 | automatically, but older filesystems may not have it enabled:: |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | $ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 |grep feature |
|---|
| 22 | Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | If "dir_index" is present in the "features:" line, then you're all set. If |
|---|
| 25 | not, you'll need to use tune2fs and e2fsck to enable and build the index. See |
|---|
| 26 | `http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir`_ for some hints. |
