My apologies. You're right. It was total directories horizontally that
were limited
(as found with our tests) not files themselves. So if you change your
script to:
> for i in `seq 1 33000`
> do
> #touch $i
mkdir $i
> done
>
You will see failures after 32000:
mkdir: cannot created directory '32001': Too many links!
