Package: btrfs-tools
Version: 0.19+20100601-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
I hit the Hardlinks-per-directory limit of a btrfs file system, when copying a
large
existing backuppc archive from an ext3 file system to a newly created btrfs
file system.
One of several similar error is:
tar:
./pc/XXXX/168/f%2fusr%2flocal/fsrc/fopenttd/f.svn/fprop-base/fdisaster_cmd.c.svn-base:
Cannot hard link to `./cpool/1/a/b/1ab6fd829106709f984790594fe94756': Too many
links
This behaviour of btrfs is known and had been discussed under [1] (in detail),
the latest status I've
found is here [2] (short summary).
The developers of btrfs wanted to have a real world example in [1] of hitting
the limitation, so
unfortunately it exists, that's what this report is about. Please let btrfs
overcome this limitation.
This bug actually belongs to the btrfs kernel module, but I see it better off
here. Otherwise, please
teach me if I'm wrong.
Regards, Adrian.
