This looks like a kernel limit (usually set to 32 or so). Arjan, any way to work around this without rebuilding the kernel? This is accually a libc thing iirc. You can just use the 'chgrp' command to change your primary group and it'll work fine. Just doing a 'chgrp' doesn't help from samba, which is why I need it to actually work correctly. I just used the described technique to verify that the problem wasn't samba's. We don't plan to address this limitation. There has been some 2,5 discussion about it and the general opinion is not to do so. In paticular things like NFS have this limit built into the protocol |
