Azure File Premium hardlink limit

Question

I have an Azure File Premium storage mount with NFS.

I got a "Remote I/O error" after creating hard links 180 times on same file.

Where can I find the limit of hard link on Azure File on the docs? Is it possible to increase the limit?

I cannot find anything on the internet.

The Hard link limit for premium shares is 178. You can find this on the Azure Files scalability and performance targets page. I do not believe this limit can be increased at this time.

If you need further assistance please raise a support case for limit increases.
