No Space Left on Device

Huh, max 32000 files in a directory seems awfully low. Even crusty old NTFS is supposed to support 4294967295 files.

Explorer will not be too happy displaying such a folder though!

ZFS, which is known for having crazy high limits, will fit somewhat over 280 trillion entries in a single directory. Curiously, though, you can have over 18 million trillion file systems in a single storage pool.

as a practical matter, NTFS used to choke at around a million files in a single directory. This practical limit may be higher now.
