The limit depends on how many inodes you have on the filesystem this dir resides on. This is a parameter when first mke3fs was ran to create the fs. Usually you'll have 1 i-node every 4096 bytes and you need 1 inode per file. So do your calculations depending on the size of your partition. cheers, thalis > > Has anybody got experiance on that? > > Thanx for any comment, > > Andy > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
