__Too Many Links__ There are too many hard links to a file or directory on a filesystem. The exact number allowed is file-system dependent. Eg /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/linux/sysv_fs.h contains: enum { XENIX_LINK_MAX = 126, /* ?? */ SYSV_LINK_MAX = 126, /* 127? 251? */ V7_LINK_MAX = 126, /* ?? */ COH_LINK_MAX = 10000, }; while /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/linux/ext3_fs.h has: #define EXT3_LINK_MAX 32000 and /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/linux/reiserfs_fs.h has: #define REISERFS_LINK_MAX (MAX_US_INT - 1000) (for maximum unsigned integer on the system). This could be caused by a directory having too many files in it (each takes 1 link entry in the directory's i_node) or possibly filesystem corruption.
