[Ocfs2-users] How to overcome 32000 subdirs limit

[Sergey Bolbat]

Hi.
I have a system storage HP MSA 2012 with 12 drives in it: 8 drives are 2 Tb
each and 4 are 1 Tb each. All of them are in array RAID 1+0.
This storage is connected to two servers which use data, stored on the
storage. So I'm using OCFS2 on these two nodes.
Today, after long time of successfull work with it, I've found that it has a
limit of 32000 subdirs.
The trouble is I have more than 32000 subdirs and amount of subdirs will
only increase.

Is there a way to overcome this limit? I've found this topic:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com/msg03151.html which
says that there is an option named "indexed directories" and it can help,
but I didn't find the way to turn it on.
Could you please advice me some solution, by which I could update OCFS2
settings and not to loose all of my data on the drives.
My OS is Debian Lenny, 2.6.26 kernel (both of servers).
OCFS2 Tools version is 1.4.1.

Thanks.
