150, 000+ files?

[george bales]

i think it was janet who said that she didnt think that there were 150,000+ files in the file system with her name on them, so she thought her find command was incoorect.. however, my find command found about the same amount, and i figured that if you were counting every file, process tempfile, every single thing from root on down, that there probably was about that many, so ileft mine. so, was i right or wrong?

You're right George, it was me You think by now I would be able to envision exactly how the system works, but nope It is hard to imagine that I have 150,000 bits of info with tumajan on it.....unless of course you count posts too Anyway, it will be interesting to see if anybody really knows - hopefully Rich will send us the path to discover the truth (my but these smilies are fun!)

Lots of files! root user has full access so can count more.
