I know that one of the concerns about keeping your DAOS size small is that
you will get a LOT of objects in your stream file system on your IBM i.
This can cause issues with saving, etc.

On the midrange-l list there was a gentleman who came up with a rather
unique situation for another product that generated a lot of stream files.
Apparently several thousand stream files in this one directory were
really slowing down his save and whatnot. Not the size of the objects,
but just the sheer number. His work around was to create a virtual
optical drive. They can be accessed individually but as far as the save
goes it's just one or a few stream files.

I wonder how that would work for DAOS? Granted, if you want to restore it
would be trickier, but who has ever restored just an object or two out of
their DAOS directory?
