- We have just reached an UNDOCUMENTED, UNKNOWN, and UNDIAGNOSED limit in
- exporting file systems. Apparaently somewhere between 13 and 16 is a
- hard but undiagnosed limit on the number of named individual recipients
- of a file system. The symptoms include, but are not limited to:
- du locks up a session so badly that it can not be kill -9ed
- df similarly
- some subset of the directories get "xxxxx not readable" while trying
- little things like ls, pwd, cat
- file systems become read only, apparently arbitrarily
- logins lock up after password, so badly they can not be kill -9ed
-
- If you have seen this, seen documentation on this (yes we did RTFM),
- know the solution to it, know where to find the solution, know the exact
- limit, or especially, know the developer so we can fix him, please let
- us know.
-
- If you know a circumvention on this limit for large clusters we are very
- interested in the answer.
-
- Thanks for your consideration.
