Abstract
Directory limits in a file system are initialized or refreshed in a streamlined manner during file system maintenance. In particular, when a check and repair utility performs full check and repair processing on a file system volume, a determination is made regarding whether there is an outstanding request to either prime or refresh the volume. In addition, if directory limits are currently enabled for the file system volume, an implied refresh request is noted. In either case, the request is satisfied in parallel with the check and repair processing. If no volume check and repair is necessary, then mount processing primes or refreshes the volume in a conventional manner.
