I remember we had a problem with Linux (probably RedHat 7.1) where we could only access 32767 files before things started failing. I believe we found it was a limitation on the Linux side, not a NetApp issues.

Hi all, are there any limits to the maximum number of files (or subdirectories) a Netapp NFS mounted directory can handle?
In our case (if it matters) we are looking at Linux 2.4.18 using NFS v3/tcp to a Netapp running 6.1.2R3.
We are thinking of a directory with 500,000+ files in it.
Cheers, CM
