Subject: ext3_dx_add_entry complains about Directory index full
To reduce Jans load I send it here for advice:
Today I got these warnings for the backup partition:

According to google this indicates that the filesystem has more than 32k
subdirectories. According to wikipedia this limit can be avoided by
enabling the dir_index feature. According to dumpe2fs the feature is
enabled already. Does the warning above mean something else?
Jan suggested to create a debug image with "e2image -r /dev/dm-5 - |
xz > ext3-image.e2i.xz", but this creates more than 250G of private data.
I wonder if the math within the kernel is done correctly. If so I will move the
data to another drive and reformat the thing with another filesystem.
If however the math is wrong somewhere, I'm willing to keep it for a while
until the issue is understood.

The backup is done with rsnapshot, which uses hardlinks and rsync to create a
new subdir with just the changed files.

With the hack below I got this output:

This does not dump the inode yet. I suspect it will point to other hardlinks of the dentry above.
Thanks for reading,
Olaf
