If this is that easily explained it would mean that for example a Subversion fsfs repo on ext3 with dir_index would run into performance issues beyond revision 99.999. Is that really the case? Would "tar, re-mkfs, extract tarball" help? Guess not. Otherwise there's only the hope for btrfs being released before one hits that limit :D Subjectively, I find 100.000 entries not that high as for being a limit for ext3-dir_index's hash algo. <snip> _______________________________________________ Btrfs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/btrfs-devel
