Re: [CentOS] files in a directory limitation

I tested the same thing on an xfs fs and the interesting thing was that I got further... Creating {1..63000} wasn't any problem, I also added these dirs in the same directory without a prob: for i in {1..63000} ; do mkdir abc${i} ; done for i in {1..63000} ; do mkdir def${i} ; done I didn't want to spend more time on testing. It took me a whole lotta time to delete that stuff. ;-) Maybe under xfs directories just are limited by inodes and nothing else.

COuld u tell me why did u take some much time to delete stuff ??

if u know command for and rm and ls u can do it exactly the same what did u do with mkdir command. for i in ls; do rm -rf $i;done thats it. no big deal to remove that files. :) Cheers!
