hi , our centos os has an ext3 file system. and i cant create any more directories, it gives me a too many links error, even when doing a manual mkdir.
I don't know whether it's applicable here, but I ran into a problem years ago where there was a limit on the number of directories at the root of a file system, but only at the root of the system. The solution was to create symbolic links in the top level directory to subdirectories.
I haven't seen this problem on Linux systems, and we have some /home directories with about 10,000 subdirectories.
