[MiNT] Minix filesystem limit

I had a problem yesterday:

I compiled leafnode (news server) without any issues. But when installing, it creates a
directory with 1000 (!) sub-directories. After having created 125 directories, it can not
create more (with '.' and '..', the limit is 127 directories per directory, it seems). Is it
a documented bug ? I do not have checked this in the Minix XFS sources.

Should I format my Minix partition to Ext2 to overcome this limit ?

Did someone write a howto, describing how to format, and access an ext2 partition,
which utilities are needed ? I would like to try it.
