Ouch. As you may know, the limit is *much* lower in linux. Something that I've been struggling with recently...
Under normal circumstances I would not be concerned with 'limitations'
of a few hundred active NFS mounts, but such limitations certainly limit
scalability for the extreme cases.
The maximum number of plain pseudo-block device filesystems on a given filesystem is limitted to 256. (This includes proc, autofs, nfs..).
This is because pseudo-block filesystems all use major 0, and each have a different minor (thus the 256 limit).
There are however patches floating around (look at SuSe's kernels, I'm not sure about RH) that allow n majors to be used (default 5). This gives you 1280 mounts, a big step up :)
