The number of files and sub-directories is limited by the number
of available inodes which is fixed at the time you create the
file system (by -i argument to newfs(8)). Anyway, stick with
Jeremy's advise if you do not like trouble.

Hi,
I have a FreeBSD server that has about 10,500 subdirectories within a single
directory.
This number will keep rising and I assume UFS2 has a limit to the number of
sub-directories in a single directory - can anyone tell me what it is?
make sure your kernel is compiled with
options
With the implementation of UFS_DIRHASH the practical limit on the
size of directories is now a great deal larger. In particular
the slow down caused by linear search through the contents has been
but - try making (by shell script for example) empty files.
it creates it fast and rapidly slows

If you really think HAMMER accomplishes the same goals as ZFS, you are
sadly mistaken.
it will be OK to achieve the goals it is advertised to achieve.

Hi,
I have a FreeBSD server that has about 10,500 subdirectories within a single

This number will keep rising and I assume UFS2 has a limit to the number of
sub-directories in a single directory - can anyone tell me what it is?
What about ZFS?
