Chris,

There is also a limit to the number of files per directory.  Actually, it is
not a hard limit, but performance can suffer greatly.  BTW, posix files are
longer and do take up more directory space.

One tool, I have found useful is FILECNT from Jazz.external.hp.com

You probably want to use FILECNT2.
