Hello all, <br><br>I am currently running a site with around 150gb of content with a single beefy content server that is doing around 20,000 requests per minute at peak and around 14,000 per minute average on around 800,000 files. I am looking to dedicate some more hardware to the project and as memcached has proven invaluable to the growth of my site, I figured I would investigate MogileFS some more.
<br><br>I've spent a lot of time looking at <a href="http://danga.com/words/">danga.com/words/</a> and have found some pretty valuable information there but I have a few questions. <br><br>Currently I use an MD5 hash for the file name and a database back end to try and keep track of all the files. One of the really nice things about this system is that on my site file assets are duplicated a lot. Some assets are duplicated up to a thousand times. Using the MD5 setup, I can create `symbolic links` of sorts in the database to keep from having to duplicate on file space (and in turn cause more I/O to my web server).
<br><br>Is this sort of thing possible with Mogile? I haven't been able to find much documentation on the structure of the DB, so I can't tell if this is a standard operation or more of a "hack".<br><br>Can anyone provide any insight?
