Too many symbolic links

[Brendan Newport_2]

I have this on an 11.11 server, with 32,765 directories in a file system, with indeed, an awful lot of symbolic links;

mkdir: cannot create dir1: Too many links

Other than a swift reorganisation, and without having to recompile the application and shell if I edit param.h, is there a means to circumvent this limit I've reached?

Many thanks,


Brendan

Hi Brendan,

32767 is the MAX # of links to a single file or dir, but if these links are not ALL to the same entry then RJ's patch is probably your ticket.

Jeff, Robert,

Thanks for the response. Now all I have to figure-out is a downtime window...
