Btrfs can store symlink targets up to it's inline limit, 3917. xfs has this limit hardcoded as 1024. ext4 has fast and non-fast symlink storage, based on the target length, so it's able to store the maximum PATH_MAX size into a full block for the non-fast case. david -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
