I just stumbled across an interesting presentation...

It's a presentation given by a Facebook engineer about scalability and how their infrastructure is setup to handle 30 billion photo files on a Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP stack.
He also goes on to discuss their plans for optimizing the system more (at the system level) to bypass the overhead of reading from disks and bloated POSIX filesystems.
Here is the link if you're interested: http://beta.flowgram.com/f/p.html#2qi3k8eicrfgkv
