Re: Maximum number of acls on directory on ext3: 28? (bs does not matter, 1024/2048/4096 tested)

Ok, I increased this to some ridiculus high value and was able to add
about 250 entries with block size 2048 and about 500 entries with block
size 4096. Whenever I reach the block limit I get

setfacl: /acltest/number: No space left on device

as you suggested off-list.

So: Works like a charm for me.
