Question
I am considering moving my ext3 partition to ext4 in order to overcome the 32000 subdirectory limit. I have seen two different numbers thrown around about the limits of ext4, both from reputable sources:
Limit of 64,000:
Unlimited:
What is the correct answer, and how can I determine the correct answer from the ext4 source?
