In the last issue of the german magazine MacUp there was a short
notice, that the finder will run into problems, if there are more than
2000 files on one disk.  This is a problem with this new huge optical
disks but also with conventional big disks.

We have here a 140 Mbyte Scuzzy disk. Last week our filesystem was
corrupted.  The disk test reported no error, but the filesystem
structure was inconsistent.  Some files didn't have all their blocks
allocated. We think we have had more than 2000 files on this disk.

Can anybody tell me, whether the previous problems with the finder is indeed
existing, and whether it is related with the break down of our
filesystem?

Thank you
