in reply to Inode 8000 limitation

and is it possible to trick it in perl when writing files into the directory?

No, besides, trying to trick it would probably violate the terms of service.

    There is nothing about it in Terms of Service and this came up all of a sudden.
    My question is if this is typical in file systems used by host providers. I never heard about such things myself.

      Careening off into mere supposition:
      1. The TOS were probably written by a lawyer.
      2. You don't write like a lawyer; therefore you are probably not a lawyer
      3. Therefore, the TOS probably mean something neither your nor I would recognize without instruction by a lawyer
      4. Therefore, the apparent absence of any direct reference to consequences of evading the restriction is probably meaningless.

      Or, summarizing and condensing, when you get the notion to do something "clever" to evade a restriction that may have legal foundation or support, don't.
