RHEL 6 Vmware virtual guest has slow directory listing on local filesystem

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • It seems that the directory listing is the performance bottleneck. The directory structure is 500 folders and each folder has 1000 folders with pictures stored into it. The access to the pictures is random.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5
