Very good article. It is a bit out of date though.
This is a 'little' more current:
http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html
I guess the short answer is (was) a file system limit of 16384 Gb but a more
limiting kernel limit of 2 Tb.
Take a look at :
http://www.reiserfs.org/
or better yet :
http://www.reiserfs.org/faq.html#reiserfsspecs
Things are changing fast here. This page indicates that ReiserFS 3.6 supports
up to 4G as the number of files, 2 G as the number of files per directory,
17.6 Terabytes as a maximum file or filesystem size.
I think that I can safely say that most of us have enough space to hold our
goodies all in one directory if we want.
