Huge numbers of files in iFolder a problem?
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
Does anybody have experience with a single user having 12,000 files and 5GB of data to sync on the iFolder installed w/nw6sp2? I don't want to bring my server to its knees or cause problems for either server or workstation but I have one user that desperately needs good backups of her laptop and she is a very busy person. iFolder seems like a good solution if it can handle the load, initially and continually.
A:
We heard from one expert whose personal iFolder contains 23,991 files coming to 3.07GB. He syncs this in the office (100MB) and at home (512k ADSL) and has been running it for many months, with no problem. He reports that it can take a minute for the client to load and do its checks, however after that it's transparent. He has three machines all syncing to the same iFolder account (work PC, home PC and laptop).
