- Yes I only filed it 5%. I was unable to continue to copy files onto the
- drive. It was "out of space". It appears that their is a finite limit to the
- TOTAL number of files on a AFS partition. By TOTAL, I mean all
- subdirectories, all files. To get around this problem, I reformatted it under
- FFS and un-archived the information back on to the drive without a hitch. AFS
- couldn't handle that many files!
