IIRC, the FAT filesystems (at least FAT12, and maybe FAT16) had a rather small limit to the size of the root directory -- something around 128 files, maybe a little more. Subdirectories could be of any size. Another thing to consider: what is the cluster size being used? If you ended up with a huge cluster size, your files could have a LOT of wasted space at the end of each file. Does the Linux "du" command give any hint as to how many bytes were used in toto by your files, versus the sum of sizes given in ls?
