It's no big deal, since the nvidia module provides this functionality. -- Prentice -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Rodrigo Barbosa Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 1:22 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] files in a directory limitation -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Tue, Oct 17, 2006 at 12:59:56PM -0400, Jerry Geis wrote: > Just curious but is there a limitation on the number of files in a > directory?
