Maximum limit for the number of directories and directory can contain?   
Does anyone know if or what the maximum number of directories that can be created is.  Our system creates a time stamped
 log file file in a new directory each time the system starts.  Is there a limit on how many times this can be done??

The qnx6fs does not have any specific limit to the number of files or directories that can be present on the disk.  Of 
course disk space and performance issues should be considered.  File and directory look ups have an O(N) cost.

From my own experience I would recommend checking number of free inodes on the disk, as it can be limiting the number of
 possible files on the disk. If necessary, create the filesystem with appropriate number of inodes. You can see these 
number with "chkqnx6fs -s" command
