OK, but when do we get ENOSPC, then?

My point is that we shouldn’t suggest that ext4 + dir_index is flawed
or unsuitable for Guix use, because we have strong evidence suggesting
otherwise.  :-)

Now, I agree that if there are bugs or limitations hit in some
situations, we should document (or fix) them.

WDYT?

Thanks,
