System: FreeBSD mirror.math.ualberta.ca 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Sep 7 14:13:09 MDT 2007 bvowk@mirror.math.ualberta.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
>Description:
Someone ran:
perl -e 'while (mkdir "x") { ++$n; print "\r$n"; last unless chdir "x"; }'
Which leaves me with:
rm -rf x
rm: fts_read: File name too long
>How-To-Repeat:
See Above.
>Fix:
Since it was a small filesystem, I dump'd, newfs'd and restore'd.
But I thought maybe it was something that could be tweaked.
