Hi all.

This is a bit off-topic, but I believe the expertise is here. . .

I have routines that parse through Unix files in a directory and remove
them based on age. If the number of files exceeds some limit I've not been
able to narrow down, I get a response from the scripts that it can't do
the job because there's too many files in the directory.

Does anyone know:

1. what I'm talking about and what causes it?

2. how to solve this through some tunable parameter, preferrably not
requiring a kernel rebuild?

TIA,
