Hi guys, I'm going crazy with this problem, and I hope someone can help me.
I installed PBS on a physical machine and would like to configure it to use an NFS shared folder that I set up on my WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra NAS. The NAS has two disks in RAID1.


After encountering several permission issues, which I resolved by setting no_root_squash on the NAS, I can now access the NAS via PBS, but I get an error when trying to create the datastore.

EMLINK: too many links

As i know, The error is due to PBS creating too many links and the filesystem EXT4 has limitations.

The result of the command tune2fs -l /dev/md1 shows this:


Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr filetype needs_recovery meta_bg extent 64bit flex_bg sparse_super huge_file unini

I think the issue is that the parameters dir_index and dir_nlink are not set. Is that correct, in your opinion?
I'm not a Linux expert, any ideas on how to solve this?
