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: <ul> <li>ext4.wiki.kernel.org</li> <li>SO ServerFault</li> </ul> Unlimited: <ul> <li>Kernel Newbies</li> <li>Kernel.org</li> <li>SO SuperUser</li> </ul> What is the correct answer, and how can I determine the correct answer from the ext4 source?

The limit is 64000. Until you enable the file system feature flag dir_nlink http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/ext4.5.html http://www.ispexperts.com.np/?p=797

What is the maximum number of subdirectories allowed in Ext4? [closed]
