The limit on files in a directory is the limit of files on the entire
drive

The limit on files per drive is the number of inodes created when the disk
was created, if you have a machine, df -i will tell you that, the default
depends on the asize of th drive...

You can , in theory change it, by reinitializing the disk...

[Upper boundry is about 90% of the number of blocks on the drive, but then
you waste rather a lot of space;P]
