-Normally ext4 allows an inode to have no more than 65,000 hard links.
-This applies to files as well as directories, which means that there can
-be no more than 64,998 subdirectories in a directory (because each of
-the '..' entries counts as a hard link).  This feature lifts this limit
-by causing ext4 to use a links count of 1 to indicate that the number of
-hard links to a directory is not known.
+Normally, ext4 allows an inode to have no more than 65,000 hard links.
