Yes, the kernel does have limitations. I'm not sure if the current value is
statically #defined in one of the headers but earlier it was.
For me on my laptop with 768 megs of RAM the limitation is: 72870.
You can check yours at /proc/sys/fs/file-max
You can then try to use the above gathered information into practicality and
find the actual limitations on your box.
Remember to replace $y with the value from /proc/sys/fs/file-max.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
$x=1;
$y=72880;
while ($x < $y) {
open (FH, "> $x..html") or die "can't open $x $!";
print FH "Yes...No....Come\ On......";
$x++;
}
