[En-Nut-Discussion] Limit number of files on a PHAT FS?

[Ole Reinhardt]

Hey,

I just noticed that the number of files with similar long filenames is
limited to 99 files by the PHAT driver, but I would need to store up to
2000 files in a directory.

All these files have a filename composed of a timestamp and a 8 byte hex
number like:

20080317111403 at 00000001

Now it might occur that the first 8 characters will be the same for much
more that 99 files.

The problem seems to be located in 

static int PhatDirEntryAlloc(NUTFILE * ndp, CONST char *fname,
PHATDIRENT * entry)

Can I savely increase the value of 99 to 2000 or more? Why is there a
limitation?

Any other suggestions?

Regards,

Ole Reinhardt
