I'm in the planing stages at the moment and I'm think that I may have upto 4096 directories in a single directory, each of these 4096 directories could have upto 4096 sub directories... The other option I have (if this is too many) is to have 256 subdirectories (I'm guessing this on will not be a problem) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones. Go to http://ninemsn.com.au/mobilecentral/hotmail_messenger.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
