chineseboy Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Its just come to my attention that it can be a problem when importing lots of products into a store that is hosted on a Linux server. This is due to the images being stored in the product images directory and how many files that can be stored in a Linux directory. I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this yet?

prestabase Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Your hosting provider sets the number of inodes per hosting account and per directory. Have you contacted them to see what the inode limit is? If you manage your own server this should help you - http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialQuotas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chineseboy Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi prestabase. Thanks for your reply. I don't currently manage my own server, but that link may come in useful in the future.I was thinking more about file limits per directory. I'd heard that on linux servers the there is a maximum of 5000 files per directory. Do you know if this is true? The link you sent me said there is a hard limit of 5000. I'm not too clued up on servers and linux. The problem i have is that i'm probably going to end up with about 100,000 images which will all end up in one folder because of the way prestashop imports images. If linux directories can store a maximum of 5000 files then you can see i have a problem! Do you know of any workarounds for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
