Synopsis: [ext2fs] ext2fs does not work on filesystems with really big directories

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: pfg
State-Changed-When: Sat Jan 11 01:10:18 UTC 2014
State-Changed-Why: 
There is a new BSD-licensed implementation with several recent changes 
that take care of any possible overflow in case of many directories.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem possible to implement the ext4 option to 
support more than 32000 directories in FreeBSD but we shouldn't have 
problems handling the normal ext2/ext3 directories.
