I will soon be setting up 15 blue G3's to network render video sequences
through Adobe After Effects. Total they will render about 21,600 single
PICT frames (12 minutes worth) to one folder of the mountable netatalk
volume.

If i remember correctly I think the macintosh HFS system had a limitation
to the amount of files in one folder. I've scoured apple's site looking for
the answer but I only developer information about "new-wave" file systems.

My question to those with the technical know-how is what is the max. amount
of files that any one HFS folder can handle? And will netatalk be able to
handle this?

Thanks.
