--- Comment #5 from Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@xxxxxxxxx) ---
FYI, the "link count == 1" meaning is historical for ancient filesystems which
didn't track the link count of the directory at all.  In that respect, it
didn't mean "lots of subdirectories", but rather "I don't know the subdirectory
count at all".
