maxsymlinks

Description

This parameter defines the maximum number of symbolic links that will be followed during filename lookups (for example, during the open(2) or stat(2) system calls) before ceasing the lookup. This limit is required to prevent loops where a chain of symbolic links points back to the original file name.

Value

Default: 30

Range: 0-50

When to Change

Change this parameter if you have pathnames with more than 30 symbolic links.
