archive directory

[fdisk]

Question: Are studies stored in one directory?? If not, how does pacsone determine how to name the subdirectory?

Archive directory is defined one per AE title, so you can define a separate archive directory for each AE title, or define the same archive directory for all AE titles. If the archive directory is undefined for an AE title when images are received, then the Default Archive Directory defined during installation will be used.

If all AE_TITLE files are stored under one directory i.e. no subdirectories, then the theoretical maximum wich a directory can manage will quickly be reached. A multidetector CT can generate 1000 images per series.

1000 images x 2 series x 20 studies a day x 30 days x 12 months x 5 years = problems.

1000 images x 2 series x 20 studies a day x 30 days x 12 months x 5 years = problems.

I don't think so, the above number equals to 72000000 images total, any modern 32-bit file system should handle that number easily, even Windows (NTFS).

Ok. I'm convinced. MS website says that NTFS can hold 2^32 - 1 files per directory. I guess this will be enough...
