i think there is a path length limit first of all.
check ms technet database ..
The NTFS limits are described in the NTFS Technical Reference at http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Lib... You'll need to scroll down to the table named "NTFS Size Limits." The limit is 4,294,967,295 (232 minus 1 file) files per volume. There isn't a limit on the number of files *per folder* on a volume. However, if you consider the root of the volume to be a folder, then this limit will apply to the root folder itself.
We also have some guidelines for improving NTFS performance at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxp... This was written for XP but also applies to W2K3. Scroll down to the section titled "Optimizing NTFS Performance."
These limits won't be changing for Longhorn Server.
