I am evaluating OCFS2 for a simple load balanced cluster setup for mail, web, and file services. We plan to use Maildir format for the mailboxes and I want to verify what, if any, are the limits on numbers of files and inodes? I see on the FAQ that I have a 32000 directory limit, but it does not mention file or inode limits. Thanks Matt
Number of files/inodes in the entire fs is limited only by space. However, on a per-directory basis, while the real limit is still very large, the practical limit is in 10s of thousands.

Is there any timeframe set for removing the 32,000 directories limit ? We were considering OCFS2 deployment but cannot because of this limitation.

Not till we implement some sort of directory indexing.
