If not, then what is the current limit for both ReiserFS and Reiser4 ? current limit for both is 2^32. Regards, Danny

I guess you mean reiserfs 3.6 and reiser4, or does it also apply to reiserfs 3.5? this also applies to 3.5. But for 3.5 number of directory links does not get reported correctly: 1 is reported for directories which have more than 64535 subdirectories.
