Hi, While looking for something else, I came across a Mastodon post by Ludovic about large store folders running out of space on ext4. [1]
In the thread from July, Ludovic asked about setting 'large_dir' by default on ext4. [2] Efraim wondered about it too, but likewise received no reply. [3] It is not a no-brainer because for some time GRUB2 could not boot from such filesystems. [4] GRUB 2.12 seems to supports 'large_dir' [5] and landed in Guix [6] a few weeks before the Mastodon thread, although I haven't tried using the option myself. Is 'large_dir' the default for ext4 in the installer now, or should it be? Should the manual mention the option for those who partition their own drives? Finally, should I enable 'large_dir' for the stores on my own equipment? Thanks!
