Package: btrfs-tools Version: 0.19+20100601-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
I hit the Hardlinks-per-directory limit of a btrfs file system, when copying a large existing backuppc archive from an ext3 file system to a newly created btrfs file system. One of several similar error is: tar: ./pc/XXXX/168/f%2fusr%2flocal/fsrc/fopenttd/f.svn/fprop-base/fdisaster_cmd.c.svn-base: Cannot hard link to `./cpool/1/a/b/1ab6fd829106709f984790594fe94756': Too many links This behaviour of btrfs is known and had been discussed under [1] (in detail), the latest status I've found is here [2] (short summary). The developers of btrfs wanted to have a real world example in [1] of hitting the limitation, so unfortunately it exists, that's what this report is about. Please let btrfs overcome this limitation. This bug actually belongs to the btrfs kernel module, but I see it better off here. Otherwise, please teach me if I'm wrong. Regards, Adrian.
