Please give the patch set "btrfs: extended inode refs" by Mark Fasheh a try (http://lwn.net/Articles/498226/). It eliminates the hard links per directory limit (introducing a rather random, artificial limit of 64k instead). -Jan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
