[Ocfs2-users] How to overcome 32000 subdirs limit

[Sunil Mushran]

Yes, indexed dirs removes this limit. For that you'll need to upgrade the kernel/fs and the tools. Best if the kernel is .32 or higher. The tools should be 1.6.x. Debian has a drop of 1.6.3 tools. Check if they have built it. 

You can read about this and other features in the ocfs2 1.6 user's guide on oss.oracle.com.
