If I have a directory with 50000 log files in it; would renaming the IFS directory be relatively quick or would it take a long time? To elaborate; we are a JDEdwards E1 shop and we cycle E1 weekly. What I'd like to do is rename the directory with all the logs when E1 is down and create a new empty directory for E1 to stick logs in once I restart it. My management wants to keep 30 days of logs, but having them all in one directory makes it too hard to find anything, i.e. errors. My thought was to allocate the logs each time we recycle E1 to its own directory by just renaming the directory.
I am not sure if all the pointers to the logs are touched when a rename is done.
TIA, Jay
