From ce05b2a9db1d86635a906f14427deff97eeb6183 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Shields Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:26:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Doc fix: ext2 can only have 32,000 subdirs, not 32,768 ext2.txt says that dirs can have 32,768 subdirs, but the actual value of EXT2_LINK_MAX is 32000. ext3 is the same, but the doc does not mention it. One of ext4's features is to "fix 32000 subdirectory limit".
