This file and many like it seem to be some sort of semaphore: their content is always the same 12 character string. But there are still some misteries: ReiserFS 3.5 does have a limit of 2^16 links, but I'm using version 3.6, which should have a max number of hardlinks of 2^32 (http://www.namesys.com/faq.html#reiserfsspecs), and I have that in the config file ($Conf{hardlinkMax} = 4294967296). I ran "reiserfsck --check" just to see what version it reported, and it says 3.6.18, but maybe that's just the version of reiserfsck, not the version of the filesystem? (how does one check which version of ReiserFS is a partition?) Bernardo ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
