If you manage to hit five billion files (which seems to be the standard limit), you might be in the market for object storage rather than new frontiers in file systems.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y ago> five billion files (which seems to be the standard limit), Article says 5 million? Still a big number, but smaller than 5 billion.
- Kye 4y agoWe're talking about file systems.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoThen where are we getting 5 billion? The most common filesystem limits listed seem to be 2^32, which is a touch over 4 billion, and 2^64, which is Big. (i.e. I can see now what I think you meant, but "5 billion" is a much closer match to "5 million" than 2^32)
- Kye 4y agoMy brain doesn't do numbers so good, so 4,294,967,295 became 4,924,967,295 and I rounded up instead of down.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoAh, that makes sense. Completely understandable:)
