[OpenAFS] limited number of files per volume?

[Martha.Cofran@cexp.com]

No.  I can still create lots of files on the partition.  Also, my ulimit
shows unlimited.

I think my question is a bit erroneous though.  It seems the real limit I've
hit has to do with the number of files in a single directory not the volume.
I created a sub-directory and can put more files in that just not in the
main directory.  Unfortunately, I'm trying to setup a web catalog and will
need to support more files than this in a single directory.  I thought a
work around might be to split the catalog into smaller volumes and sym-link
to a single directory.  This has the same limit though.  

Are there any other ways to work around this?

Thanks for your help
