Not strange. What I've meant for the higher limit was for using only mkntfs + ntfs-3g. If you also used or use Windows then the limits are much lower because the block allocation strategy of the Windows NTFS driver is very inefficient. So, basically it's in the 200,000 range and you could indeed create only 290,000 new files. > Windows XP defrag prints tells The Windows built-in defrags are incapable and inaccurate.

The important is to be able to defrag the Master File Table ($MFT) and compact the disk space while honoring the MFT Zone.
