GOAL:
Are there any hard limits on the amount of files, handles or processes open at any one time on Windows 2000/XP?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 2000
Windows XP
FIX:
The following information was received from Microsoft regarding this question:
Windows 2000 and Windows XP do not impose any hard limits on the amount of files,
handles or processes open at any one time. These limits are governed by the resources available to the system, mainly physical memory and virtual memory.
The data below is a collection of values that have been tested on Windows 2000 and should apply equally to Windows XP. These are results of tests performed on the OS, and do not necessarily imply the maximum limits. There are factors to consider such as what other processes are running on the system and consuming resources, how much memory is in the system, what methods are being used to open and close files on the system, what is the cluster size used on the volume.
Tested File Limits on Windows 2000:
1.Maximum File Size ? 16 Terabytes
2.Maximum Volume Size ? 16 Terabytes
3.Files per Volume ? 20 Million
4.Directories per Volume ? 14 Million
5.Files per Directory ? 20 Million
6.Maximum Simultaneous Open Files Locally ? 600 Thousand
7.Maximum Simultaneous Open Files Remotely ? 600 Thousand
8.Maximum Simultaneous File Locks ? 350 Thousand
