| A big part of this question is how much disk space do you have...
In general, you also don't place all files in a single directory
or file system for performance reasons.
In short, this question seems to be a red-herring to solving any
business problem...what is it that the customer is trying to do?

| For UFS the maximum inode number is 4,294,967,295 since the
type of the inode number an unsigned int. This will pretty
solidly limit the number of files on a single file system
for all that it is a lot.

| Thanks for the input, but I'm already aware of such storage and practical
limits. I'm responding to an RFP and just need to be able to support a minimum
of up to 500,000 file entries on a file system. Since we theoretically support
2**32 on UFS, I can state that we exceed the requirement (with both UFS & AdvFS).
