Hi all, Recently i was testing a 2.2 branch on linux with Veritas vxfs. I wanted to create 200000 users in the form of userN, where n is 1..200000. I soon found out that vxfs won't let me create more than 32k subdirs in one dir.
This is clearly a limitation of the filesystem. How does other filesystems handle this? The solution here is full dir hash. But, the next limit is at 26*32k users. Is anyone actually nearing this number of users on a single box? Probably not, but who knows what the future may bring ... -- Jure Pecar
