Smeeta staggered into the Black Sun and said:
I want to find out the max number of files possible in a directory.
On which filesystem? If ReiserFS, which hash is being used? The
answers to these questions will determine the answer to your question.
doesn't seem to be the number in /proc/sys/fs/file-max coz I've been
able to create [more] files than that.
file-max is the maximum number of file handles that the kernel will
allocate at one time, not the number of files you can have in one
directory.
