Can anyone tell me what the actual limit is for an ext3 filesystem?
I’ve
done some google searching and according to the wiki it seems 32k
directories and 32k files however I have seen that people have reported 3
million+ files which doesn’t seem there is a real limit in the code.
FYI:
I've got two production servers that each have an ext3 directory with
~500k files. Each file is about 7KB in size. I've also run the process
from XFS, which worked fine.
I did try Btrfs a few times under Fedora 15. What a joke. It didn't
come close to being able to handle with the workload.
