I ahve the follwing problem with vdir… I start it with a max size of 128k
and before it is full, it cannot hold more than 32 fils of a few hundred
bytes including the ./ and …/ directories.

Any idea what’s causing this? when I attempt to create a 33rd file, it is
created but then I get a “no such file or directory msg” the file is then
thre, but with a size of 0

thanks in advance…

I tried the same thing with 92 byte files and could only get 32 in a 128K
virtual directory, and
61 in a 256K virtual directory. This may be a limit to the number of inode
entries, or the way
that vdir sets aside memory space in the 128K to manage file entries. Any
which way it looks
like an undocumented limit factor. Sorry.
