We developed a hierarchical directory structure to get around the
big directory problem (see August 4, below). This solution is backward
compatible with all current work units. It is being tested
in alpha now. Next week it will go to beta and then to public.
We also have a tool to distribute all recent results into the
new hierarchy. When that tool is run, credit will appear for
all of these results. The credit appearance will be spread over
a number of days.
In other news, we have the SnapAppliance 18000 configured. It
shows a 10x speed up over the software RAID we are now using. We
are awaiting a UPS for it.
