Hi,
I’m wondering if anyone knows if qnx4 filesystem has a limit on the
number of files in a directory or limit on the total size of files
within one directory or file size limit?
I had a directory with a few hundreds of files in it and things becomes
unstable. Once I delete all the files in the directory. Everything backs
to normal.
If there’s such limit, can we modify the limit? which configuration file?
Thanks!
Regards,

Theoretically about 32 million: a directory is just a file (2GB limit)
and an inode is 64 bytes; however since directory manipulation is via
linear/sequential scan, create/delete performace would get unusable
well before that.
or limit on the total size of files within one directory
No, other than the product of the other two limits.
or file size limit?
2GB - 1

No.
