https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D207763 Bug ID: 207763 Summary: stat()'s st_nlink is capped to 32767 Product: Base System Version: 10.3-BETA2 Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bra@fsn.hu UFS limits the number of hard links to a file to signed 16 bit integers. ZFS doesn't have this limit and allows creating millions of hardlinks to a file. The problem here is stat reports false values after 32767, it's capped to t= hat value. It would be good to fix this legacy someday.
