Hi,
Ok, no laughing folks. I've run up against an
application (which I do not have control over) that
wants to create more than 32k directories in a
directory.
in syslimits.h I find:
#define LINK_MAX 32767 /* max file link count */
which I think is what I'm running up against. This is
referenced in sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_vnops.c at which point
EMLINK is returned. Yes, this is being done against a ufs
filesystem.
I also note some int32_t variables in the dir structures
which worries me.
Has anyone built a system which can support > 32k dirs in
a dir, or have any ideas what is involved?
The FAQ and handbook don't appear to address this anywhere.
Thanks!
John
