NTFS Performance
- fsutil binary does not ship in win2k. You can grab it off a winxp system
(WINDOWS\system32\fsutil.exe). IT does work on win2k NTFS (simply
changes some registry settings). Most fsutil settings require a reboot.
- Directory with lagre number of files : Disable 8.3 filenames (fsutil
behaviour set disable8dot3 )
- Large number of file access in a folder : Diable Last Access time update
( fsutil behaviour set disablelastaccess )
- High I/O intensive operations on SMP systems : Bypass
I/O counts
