Limitations of the Amethyst archive drives

Postby Belinda Frick » Wed Nov 17, 2010 2:57 pm

Amethyst 1.6 and above has a new feature to limit the number of files perfolder to 10000 and then create multiple folder per day.

These limitations only affect Amethyst 1.5 and older.
The FAT32 file-system used on Amethyst archive drives has
the following limitations:

Approx 32,000 files per folder, including the main folder
Approx 5.4 million files on 160GB drives
Approx 4.8 million files on 120GB drives
