The main issues with Netatalk under these situations aren't Netatalk's
problem, rather it's the client's problem. Mac's, in general, have
issues displaying folders that contain a large number of files/folders.
If you organize the file structure properly, the below requirements are
trivial- I have environments that are much more demanding. However if
you throw those 350,000 files in the root of that volume, your clients
will choke... Miserably.
Tip: RAID0/1 RAID0/1 RAID0/1
