Basically we have an NFS directory from server A that is being shared on server B. The directory has at this moment 28047 files of various sizes, mainly 12-14Kb in size. What happens is if we do for example "ls | wc -l" we get the error "ls: reading directory .: Too many levels of symbolic links<br />
15914"<br />
Now this is where things get very exciting. If we create a file called "ls.out" and yes the name is important, the contents is not, then everything works? Inodes are irrelevant as we have tried several different tests. We even tried different names when we reproduced it in different directories just in case we magically caused it to like the "ls.out" term to start. But only that name works.
