This link added some other information like number of subdirectorys in a single directory. http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-10/jfs_04.html <quote> The downside of Ext3? It's an add-on to Ext2, so it still has the same limitations that Ext2 has. The fixed internal structures of Ext2 are simply too small (too few bits) to capture large file sizes, extremely large partition sizes, and enormous numbers of files in a single directory. Moreover, the bookkeeping techniques of Ext2, such as its linked-list directory implementation, do not scale well to large file systems (there is an upper limit of 32,768 subdirectories in a single directory, and a "soft" upper limit of 10,000-15,000 files in a single directory.) To make radical improvements to Ext2, you'd have to make radical changes. Radical change was not the intent of Ext3. </quote> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
