[WinMac] RE: Error -37 when copying files to NT4/file number limits?

Not sure on the error message, but we run NT 4.0 SP3 with SFM with the post
SP3 hotfix (SP4 includes this), Mac OS 8.5.1
and some of our shares run up to 300,000 files. The recommended limit is
65,535 files.
I haven't seen this error on our Mac but we do have issues with
'disappearing' files from the share,
but all we do is 'refresh' the files by moving them out and back into the
share.
We are looking at MacServerIP to replace SFM very soon - so far our testing
has been good...
They claim there is NO limit and NO issues with the share. (we'll see!)

Subject: Error -37 when copying files to NT4/file number limits?

I'm copying a lot of files from a Mac running 8.5.1 to a NT4 (sp4) server,
and generally on the same files I'm getting a -37 error on my Mac.

I've checked the MS tech support db, to no avail.

Any clues?

BTW, are there any limits to the number of files I can store on a NT4 SFM
volume? I want to put around 24,000 files on.
