Hi

I remarked something funny. I have a fast NL box (AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and 3Gb RAM) and the average system load never goes up very high. System load goes up to 10% when I'm doing my backups but is always below 3-4%.

I have a LAN camera that record images on the NL server. They are small files of <30kb each but they are plenty (more than 20000 files). So, from time to time, (each month), I DELete about 10k files using an XP computer on the LAN. First of all, it takes about 2 hours for the DEL to finish (first part (gathering file infos???) taking the most part of the 2 hours) ... And second, the System load goes high up around 65% for hour(s?) too on the NL server.

Why is this DEL thing soooo long and is asking sooo much from the NL server ?

Any ideas ?

Next time, I'll try DEL using FTP and see what it gives...

OK, some more testing...

This time, I'm DELeting 44500 files via FTP. System load on the NL is ZERO % (compared to 60% when the DEL was done using Windows (SMB) !!!

.../...

The DEL has finished in 8:30 min only (compared to more than 2 hours via Windows...)
