Just for the record, Sourceforge just hit the 16,000 lists limit today and
broke because ext2fs doesn't support more than 32,000 links to a directory
(archives/private had 32,000 archive dirs)
I'm told freebsd's UFS has similar problems.
Of course, that can be fixed with Residerfs/XFS/name your FS here or
archives/private/l/li/listname{,.mbox} but my point was that if you create a
directory for each attachment, you're going to hit the 32,000 limit very
quickly.
As far as I know, most FS don't handle hundreds of thousands of files in the
same dir very well, but at least they handle it.
