Maximum number of directories

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

What is the maximum number of directories ext4 can hold in a tree layout with 
a depth of ~160 and each directory node having then a couple to couple dozen 
subdirectories?

I was creating such a (crazy?) tree and hit -ENOSPC at ~31 million directories 
created in total with df showing only 40% use:

Filesystem                 1K-blocks       Used  Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/data           477277612K 177766152K 275621952K  40% /data

Some lines from tune2fs made me think it should hold more, but obviously I was 
mistaken? Or it is a bug?

Inode count:              29868032
Free inodes:              29848131

Regards,

Tvrtko
