Just to be clear, the limit which Paul is referring to is just simply a matter of creating the filesystem with a sufficient number of inodes. (i.e., mke2fs -N 1200000). Yes, having a dynamic inode table would be good, but in practice sysadmins know how many inodes are needed in advance. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
