Subject: Maximum subdirectories in a directory
To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org
Hello;
Can anyone tell me what the maximum allowable
subdirectories are in a Solaris directory? Also, is
this number predicated on version (Solaris 2.6, 7, 8
or 9), kernel parameters or other settings or is it
simply an operating system default?
A user asked me this and, search as I might, I
couldn't find a solid answer. So, for example, if I
have a directory called /james off the root directory,
what's the maximum number of subdirectories I can have
off of /james?
Will summarize. Thanks.
James

I'm sorry to report that the consensus was that
there's no consensus.
The bulk of respondents say that the maximum number of
subdirectories is 32,767/32,768. Other said that it
was dependent on the number of inodes left in the
filesystem, while some thought it was in the millions
of subdirectories if not unlimited.
So, I have it narrowed down to 32,767 and infinity.
Thanks to all!
James
