Ocfs2 users - Aug 2007 - Exceeding the limit to the number of subdirectories in a directory?

Hello

Running RHEL 5 x86_64 with OCFS2 1.2.6-1 I currently have a lot of
directiories with more than 32000 subdirs. This exceeds the limit given in
the FAQ. Why is this possible and what could be the consequenses? I'm having
big issues with random lockups - and no info even when using netconsole.

Hello again,

note to self: think before you write

I haven't got more than 32000 subdirs in the SAME directory of course, so
I'm not exceeding the limit.. Still a lot of directories to keep track on
though.

The number of subdirs is not going to cause lockups. Have you tried
dumping the kernel stack during one such lockup. alt-sysrq-t

Have a netconsole server setup to trap the stack.
