Re^2: Inode 8000 limitation

There is nothing about it in Terms of Service and this came up all of a sudden.
My question is if this is typical in file systems used by host providers. I never heard about such things myself.

Careening off into mere supposition: The TOS were probably written by a lawyer. You don't write like a lawyer; therefore you are probably not a lawyer Therefore, the TOS probably mean something neither your nor I would recognize without instruction by a lawyer Therefore, the apparent absence of any direct reference to consequences of evading the restriction is probably meaningless. Or, summarizing and condensing, when you get the notion to do something "clever" to evade a restriction that may have legal foundation or support, don't. :-)	[reply]
