Is this really, possibly, wonderfully true??!! Which version of ONTAP
fixed
this?
A *long* time ago.
The reason I ask is that on all our filers (mostly F760 and some F840's), the total number of folders at any one directory level was a function of the inode limit of a 2 bit, unsigned pointer - thus limited it to just under 65k directories at any one level. Since we have 9.5 million user directories spread across those filers, we had to write scripts to check when that threshold was being reached to create a new one.
This is something different. I was not aware of the 65,000 limit per directory and the paper in question only gives data up to 60,000 so I was just extrapolating.
