Hi ! I am hitting strange number of files inside directory limitation. I am able to create only around 120k files. Number varies [1] as seems I am able to add files with some filenames but with other creation fails [2]. Files have structure <small_ind><sha/md5sum> [3]. All on linux box [4],[5], having plenty of frees space [6]. Filesystem fscked - everything ok. Any hints ? Thanks in advance.
