I'd really appreciate your response if you know the > answer. I don't know the answer for a fact, but I must admit that the reading I've done has never suggested that there _is_ any such limit. The limitation is in the number of inodes available on your filesystem. You can see inode utilization by using the df(1) utility's -i option. Anyway, I'm giving you this answer in the hopes that someone will jump all over it if I'm wrong . :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
