Hi, this is not true. The maximum number of links in reiserfs 3.5 and 3.6 is 64535 (not 65535!). With ext2, it's exactly 32000. I wrote a program which uses heavly hard links, and had problems with this limit. Does anybody know, why these strange limits exist? regards, Heinz-Josef Claes > > Maximum file-system size > 3.6 2**32 4K blocks == 17592 Gbytes > -- > Sebastian J. Bronner > [EMAIL PROTECTED]
