Re: Limits in IFS

[Tom Hightower <tomh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the link!  In it I see the following: "Maximum number of Type2 
directory links for an object in the "root" (/) , QOpenSys, or user-defined 
file systems  1,000,000"

That means that we can up to 1,000,000 entries in the '/tomh/' folder? Any 
idea on what access times will be like?
