Hi Alvin,

a directory consists of bytes stored somewhere (in the "recoverable
virtual memory") and there is a size limit in bytes.

As an entry in a directory can take different number of bytes depending,
say, on the length of the corresponding object name, you can not easily
recalculate the size limit in bytes into size limit in entries.

The rule of thumb to rely on would be the numbers indicated in the Wiki,
2-4K entries per directory.

Hope it clears a possible confusion.

Best regards,
