Sorry about the quotation confusion. NTFS also has limits on the maximum number of files for a filesystem. There is no complete escape from the underlying limitations of trade-offs of easy processing versus performance versus capacity that lead to these limitations. There are also notable performance limits on having too many files in a directory. We could have a long discussion about the fundamentals: suffice to say that organizing a bunch of associated bits into a single file, rather than scattering many such bits around a filesystem and overpopulating a directory or a filesystem is not your friend. > -- > Bo Berglund > Developer in Sweden >
