Maximum number of sub-directories in a single directory for Netapp NFS mounts

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • What is the maximum number of sub-directories for a single directory?
  • When trying to create a new directory, I see:
# mkdir test_dir
mkdir: cannot create directory `test_1': Too many links
  • I can still create new files, and new directories elsewhere.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • NetApp
