Hi,
I heard that the number of sub-folders / files in a linux directory should
not exceed 32,000 . There is not enough material available in the net.
Yes, you are right, it is not allowing to create more than 32000 subfolders.
This is what I tried
-bash-2.05b# for (( i = 0 ; i <= 32001; i++ )); do mkdir test$i; done
at the end around 3199x count i got the message,
"cannot create directory `last': Too many links"
I used
http://linuxzoo.net/ Fedora image as my test machine,
Bye,
Krishna.
