Hi Ivan,
Firstly I'm sorry that I haven't clearly explain my situation.
I would like to know if that 2K-4K limit is applied to only a single layer
of directories.
For example, the path is /coda/layer1/layer2/layer3. Is it the limit on the
number of entires in layer1 is 2k - 4k, including those under layer2 and
layer3? Or those under layer2 and layer3 are excluded?
Best regards,
Alvin

Actually I've read that before. I just can't get the meaning about the
directory size. Does it mean the limitation on number of entries stand
between 2048 - 4096?
Hi Alvin,
a directory consists of bytes stored somewhere (in the "recoverable
virtual memory") and there is a size limit in bytes.
As an entry in a directory can take different number of bytes depending,
say, on the length of the corresponding object name, you can not easily
recalculate the size limit in bytes into size limit in entries.
The rule of thumb to rely on would be the numbers indicated in the Wiki,
2-4K entries per directory.
Hope it clears a possible confusion.
Best regards,
