Why does the size of this number vary not only with the directory, but
with the filesystem as well?
In particular on XFS, what dictates the size of a directory? It doesn't
seem to be directly correlated with the total size of the contents. I did
some tests and it looks like it has something to do with the length of the
filenames in it, and perhaps the name of the directory itself. Is this it?
