The Linux file system is not constructed or FORMATED the same way
that dos/windows is constructed so it will not have a limit.

When you initially format a hard drive for dos/windows depending on
cluster size, LFN's, etc. The ROOT directory has a limited number
of entries which is FIXED during the INITIAL FORMATING. Any hidden file,
system file, temp file, directory or normal file COUNTS against this LIMIT.
So if you are creating these in the ROOT DIRECTORY you will reach
a LIMIT and no longer be able to WRITE another file or directory.

Are you creating the files in a directory OTHER THAN THE ROOT DIRECTORY ?
