I _suspect_ that Posted to the svn list, they said that 220K files is normal. They told me to turn on the ext2 dir_index option. Cheking my system I see that none of partitions have it turned on so it must not be the default for FC5. I have to unmount the drive to convert existing directories. I can trying doing the file move trick while the process is running since new directories will use it. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
