Seems odd there would be such a limit in the first place. I have millions of files on my Windows drive... Is this a *nix issue?

Just did some reading myself. It looks like on Unix systems you can set disk usage limit (total space used) as well as an "inode" limit which appears to equate to the number of files. My host has increased the inode limit.. I found the command "df -i" which will report the inode info.. So on that server they've got it set to 500k now and I'm using about 98k.. checking another server, the "home" drive is set at over 1.6M inodes and I'm using about 150k. Interesting stuff. Really should learn more about the unix type OSs.
