Where did you read that NTFS is constrained to only 12MB/sec?

I would first check if there is a memory bottleneck before adding =
memor=3D
y. I
have seen the same problems on W2k when creating large numbers of =
files=3D
 and
folders in the same structure. So this may be no solution either. I =
don=3D
't
think this is a hardware problem, I would expect the CPU and memory to =
=3D
be
only marginally utilized. NTFS has its limits and this seems to be one =
=3D
of
them. It's also not possible to get more than 12 MB/sec. throughput =

m
one NTFS filesystem (=3D3Dpartition/volume) regardless of the hardware
underneath. So to sum it up, I don't think there is much you can do. =

could make a test with W2k to see if there is a difference. But make a =
=3D
test
before actually migrating. NTFS is not the best filesystem out there, =
i=3D
t's
just the only available for NT/W2k.

Add more memory, upgrade to W2k and turn on the index service.

Hi,
I have a NT4 server which has a few folders with a fairly large
number of files. 4000, or 12000 say. =3DA0Most of the files are fairly =
sm=3D
all <
16K. =3DA0 Browsing through these folders is painfully slow. =3DA0The =
serve=3D
r is not
heavily loaded by any means. =3DA0Is there anything I can do to improve =
t=3D
his.
The server is a 333Mhz PII with 256meg of ram. with over 180 megs of =
ra=3D
m
available.


Cheers


Richard
