Yes this is one of the very few remaining APIs which has a protocol limit. > I happen to have a need to use libguestfs fuse accessing the directory with > a million of files in it, the individual files are accessed ok, but the > directory... This is a genuine bug. Can you file one? If you can get away without using fuse (ie. using the API directly) then a workaround would be to look at how our visitor code works: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/common/visit/visit.c#L70 where it only uses APIs which are unlimited, eg: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/lib/file.c#L507 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
