Re: [Cooker] Zip 250 drives don't hold 250MB !

[OS]

More information !

I have managed to get 160Mb on it, but with fewer files. I know when you run
things like fsck the output says something like nnnn/zzzzzz files. I have
always assumed that zzzzzz is the maximum number of files possible on the disk.
Is there a finite limit of files that Linux (or indeed any OS) is able to put
on a Zip drive ?
