A method of partitioning directory. Accesses, e.g., shared/exclusive, and/or waiting requests, e.g., shared/exclusive, to access one or more files with a directory are monitored, e.g., incrementing/decrementing respective counters. The waiting requests are queued to be granted at a later time. The directory is determined to be primed for partitioning if a number of waiting requests to access the directory is greater than a threshold value of a plurality of heuristics and optionally further based on satisfying the condition for at least a programmable time threshold period. A trigger signal is automatically generated if the directory is primed for partitioning. The trigger signal causes a file system to partition the directory. It is appreciated that the plurality of heuristics is user programmable. |
