Shit, what have I done... of course the files mentioned here do correspond to ext2 (Linux stuff), and _not_ to UFS2. The answer is in /usr/src/sys/sys/syslimits.h where we find the following definition: #define LINK_MAX 32767 /* max file link count */ Can you check _that_ number against the amount of directories created? By the way, in cases like this it's helpful if you provide the _command_ that you tried and the current directory from _where_ you've tried it. Also see /usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_vnops.c, lines 1748 and onward, to see the UFS mkdir() system call acting with if ((nlink_t)dp->i_nlink >= LINK_MAX) { error = EMLINK; goto out; } when the LINK_MAX limit is reached.
