This leads to warnings on ext4 and usually one will find = that enabling large_dir will increase the file directory cap. Unfortunately= , that is not compatible with Grub. This is what happened to me and was a b= it of a mess (I reinstalled with Btrfs), and I know you (Tobias) also saw t= his in this thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-06/ms= g00015.html So to the patch at hand, I'm wondering if we should make a note of this in = file system selection in the installer (and in the manual in a few places).= I don't know the actual ramifications of getting those directory full warn= ings in ext4, but I can see it easily leading to a problem booting a system= with large_dir, as happened to me. I've submitted a bug to Grub, though th= is is well known, without response in plans to support a 4-year-old ext4 op= tion. Since we expect Guix to have this huge directory, at least currently,= I think we could avoid this issue with some warnings. Sorry if this is a little astray for this patch, but thought it would be go= od to bring up. Thanks, John
