Hi, Goffredo!

I understood that a disk layout change will be necessary to accomodate for a
bigger total filename-space per file. So it is best done at once when more
issues arise that will need layout changes.

To recreate the error situation you need a Gentoo Linux with a btrfs root file
system and then try to install the plt-scheme package:

> emerge plt-scheme

Compilation works quite fine, but the installation aborts with a "Too many
links" error.

I reinstalled over 700 packages - plt-scheme beeing the only one failing due to
the btrfs link restriction.

Greetings, Michael
