+max_dir_size_kb=n This limits the size of directories so that any
+ attempt to expand them beyond the specified
+ limit in kilobytes will cause an ENOSPC error.
+ This is useful in memory constrained
+ environments, where a very large directory can
+ cause severe performance problems or even
+ provoke the Out Of Memory killer. (For example,

+ directory may seriously cramp the system's style.)

i_version Enable 64-bit inode version support. This option is
off by default.
