I've a similar problem with the 8.1.0.0 client on a Red Hat 8 system: ANS0361I DIAG: incrdrv.cpp (10473): ERROR: PrivIncrFileSpace(): path '/home/sys/sccwww-intern/Software/TS M/statistik/Kontakte/install-mails' contains more directory levels than it can be processed... ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/home/sys/sccwww-intern' stopped. ANS6718E The path contains too many nested subdirectories. The maximum number of nested directories is 1400. A PMR was opened. IBM has proposed to set the following in the dsm.opt option file: TESTFLAGS threadstacksize:2048 In my case it has helped as a workaround.
