The path names don't look too long. As you point out, the per-file hardlink limit is not an issue - 22 links is way less than the typical limit of 32000. Is your file system out of inodes? Use df -i to check. Craig ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
