Linux技巧：一次删除一百万个文件的最快方法,linux技巧删除这个方法来自http

最初的测评

昨天，我看到一个非常有趣的删除一个目录下的海量文件的方法。这个方法来自http://www.quora.com/How-can-someone-rapidly-delete-400-000-files里的Zhenyu Lee。

他没有使用find 或 xargs，他很有创意的利用了rsync的强大功能，使用rsync –delete将目标文件夹以一个空文件夹来替换。之后，我做了一个实验来比较各种方法。让我吃惊的是，Lee的方法要比其它的快的多。下面就是我的测评。

环境：CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHzMEM: 4GHD: ST3250318AS: 250G/7200RPMMethod# Of FilesDeletion timersync -a –delete empty/ s1/10000006m50.638s

find s2/ -type f -delete100000087m38.826s

find s3/ -type f | xargs -L 100 rm100000083m36.851s

find s4/ -type f | xargs -L 100 -P 100 rm100000078m4.658s

rm -rf s5100000080m33.434s

使用 –delete 和 –exclude，你可以选择性删除符合条件的文件。还有一点，当你需要保留这个目录做其它用处时，这种方法是再适合不过了。

重新测评

几天前，Keith-Winstein在回复Quora上的这个帖子时说我之前的测评无法复制，因为操作的时间持续的太久。我澄清一下，这些数据过大，可能是因为我的计算机在过去的几年里做的事太多，测评中可能存在一些文件系统错误。但我不确定是这些原因。现在好了，我弄了一天比较新的计算机，把测评再做一次。这次我使用/usr/bin/time，它能提供更详细的信息。下面就是新的结果。

我真的十分好奇为什么Lee的方法要比其它的快，竟然比rm -rf也要快。如果有人知道，请写在下面，非常感谢。
