As a filesystem it continues to work just fine. It is only 'unmanageable' in
the sense that it becomes impractical to back it up with file-oriented methods
because reconstructing that number of hardlinks is time consuming. But (a) it
_is_ the backup, and (b) image-oriented filesystem copies work fine - or
splitting and resync'ing raid mirrors.
