Teddy Ruxpin asked:


I am the sysadmin for a BSD machine where a user wants to store millions of files for a processing script. When they get to about 1.4 million files in a directory they can’t store anymore files and weird things start to happen. Other than quota, what are some of the restrictions to number of files in a ext3 filesystem on BSD?
