Max file count in folders?

S

Sean

Does anyone know what the max number of objects within a
folder is? I have several that are 35000ish and users
are having trouble saving to those locations, even though
the server disk has 116gb available?

Any thoughts?

Files per volume:
FAT16 = 2^16
FAT32 = 2^32
NTFS = 2^32-1 (that's four billion files)

Files per directory:
FAT16 = 2^16-2 physical directory entries (affected by long filenames)
FAT32 = 2^16-2 physical directory entries (affected by long filenames)
NTFS = No limit

Also these may help.
