What is the maximum number of files that a directory can contain on Windows XP?
Hi,
We have some external systems that send us data in CSV format. These CSV files are periodically deposited in a specific directory o Windows XP server. Do you know what is the maximum number of files that a directory ca contain on Windows XP? What happens when this maximum is reached? Is there some formal documentation about this - that you can point m to? Thank -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

I'd ask this in the appropriate Windows (server) newsgroup.

Do you know what is the maximum number of files that a directory can contain on Windows XP? Depends on the File System For FAT32 the limits are : Maximum file size 4 GB minus 1 byte (232 bytes minus 1 byte) Maximum volume size 32 GB (implementation) Files per volume 4,177,920 Maximum number of files and subfolders within a single folder 65,534 (The use of long file names can significantly reduce the number of available files and subfolders within a folder.) For NTFS Maximum file size 16 terabytes minus 64 KB (244 bytes minus 64 KB) Maximum volume size 256 terabytes minus 64 KB ( 232 clusters minus 1 cluster) Files per volume 4,294,967,295 (232 minus 1 file) Files Per Folder as per files per volume NOTE If you use large numbers of files in an NTFS folder (300,000 or more), disable short-file name generation, especially if the first six characters of the long file names are similar. What happens when this maximum is reached? It will throw an exception Is there some formal documentation about this - that you can point me to? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...c_fil_tdrn.asp Keith |
