Dear Ext4 Developer;

I've copied the files from VxFS to EXT4, I saw the message “Directory
index full!”. I've checked the search engine and found these mails.

Our Ext4's block size was 1024. I've changed the block size from 1024 to
4096. Our problem was solved. But I have question.

How many files to create in one directory in 4096 block size?
I think that it is about 3 million files with perfect hashing.

16*(4096-16)/8*(4096-8)/8*3/4= 3M

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.
