maximum symlink target length
|
|

depends on the *nodesize* value, for 4KiB it's 3949 bytes, for larger nodesize
|
|
||||||
it's 4095 due to the system limit PATH_MAX
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The symlink target may not be a valid path, ie. the path name components
|
|
||||||
can exceed the limits (NAME_MAX), there's no content validation at ``symlink(3)``
|
|

creation.

|
||||||
|
|

maximum number of inodes
|
|
||||||
2^64^ but depends on the available metadata space as the inodes are created
|
|
||||||
dynamically
|

|
|

inode numbers
|
|
||||||
minimum number: 256 (for subvolumes), regular files and directories: 257
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
maximum file length
|
|
||||||
inherent limit of btrfs is 2^64^ (16 EiB) but the linux VFS limit is 2^63^ (8 EiB)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
maximum number of subvolumes
|
|
||||||
the subvolume ids can go up to 2^64^ but the number of actual subvolumes
|
|
||||||
depends on the available metadata space, the space consumed by all subvolume
|
|
||||||
metadata includes bookkeeping of shared extents can be large (MiB, GiB)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
maximum number of hardlinks of a file in a directory
|
|
||||||
65536 when the *extref* feature is turned on during mkfs (default), roughly
|
|
||||||
100 otherwise

|
|

minimum filesystem size
|
|
||||||
the minimal size of each device depends on the *mixed-bg* feature, without that
|
|

(the default) it's about 109MiB, with mixed-bg it's is 16MiB
