Yes I looked it up and here are the actual maximums -

FAT32:
Maximum number of files: 268,435,437
Maximum file size: 4GB
maximum number of files per directory: up to 65535, or less depending on file names

NTFS:
Maximum number of files: 4,294,967,295
Maximum file size: 16TB currently (16EB theoretically)

Ext2:
Maximum number of files: 10¹⁸
Maximum file size: 2TB
theoretical file per directory limit: 1.3 × 10²⁰ files

Ext3:
Maximum number of files: number of bytes in volume/2¹³.
Maximum file size: 16GB (1KB block) to 2TB (4KB block)

so 10k is really small ... smile Unless someone's still using FAT32.
