According to the SYSGEN documentation, the maximum number of directory entries is 219. I am creating a sysgen and stopped at 219 just to see what happens. It appears that the file system does not seem to like this. I get a bunch of TABLE OVERFLOW errors when I start up comet. What is the maximum number of directory entries allowed? The following is what the documentation says:
This is a numeric value from 0 to 219, each of which represents a Comet directory. When Comet loads, it builds a “directory device table” based on the entries found in this group. Each Comet node sets up a “directory access block” (DAB) of up to 50 directories. If the Comet Security System is in effect, the user’s password determines which directories are accessed, and in which order they are accessed. If the Comet Security System is not in effect, each session on the node inherits the first 50 configured directories (numbered 0 through 49).
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
