LARTC - Oct 2004 - Increase of rrdtool data when using Stef Coene''s qos nice scripts.

Hello everyone,

I use the scripts from docum.org to manage the bandwith sharing and
traffic graphs. For every user i happen to use about 4 classes. The
/qos/rrds is a symlink to a directory which is in an ext3 fs. The
problem is that i now have over 32 000 files there (about 600
classes),  once in 5 minutes there is a lot of data to receive from
snmp and to write in so many files. The machine seems ok now, but i
expect to have 2000 classes in some future and i expect big troubble
because of so many files in that directory. I am intersted in a
solution for that. For now i''m thinking in using reiserfs4 which will
probably work ok when i''ll have the double number of files, but
i''m
sure more than that will create problems. I would like to know if any
of you tryed something else (maybe a mysql database) may solve the
problem.

Thanks in advance.
