| ^ Directory operations | Recursive operations with directories (deletion, permissions change) must be performed separately for each file. Thus operations can take a long time, especially for directories with a large number of files. ||| Recursive operations with directories (deletion, permissions change), can be done with a single command (''rm'', ''chmod'', etc). Thus they are quick. On the other hand it limits some functionality. | | ^ Directory operations | Recursive operations with directories (deletion, permissions change) must be performed separately for each file.
