Hmm. Is it one-in-all database? Then:
- How you keep it out of corruption. Hardware and software errors
happens and sometimes one lost files. If it is one file - ok I can live
with it. If it is one-in-all file - ops (and please note that average
user does not make backup).
- Some fs makes operations with small files much more efficient then
bigger (reiser* for example). It may have performance impact.
- What with concurrent access?
