The number of entries allowed in the root directory is limited. It is variable
across different types of disks; its value is given by the number of bytes
in a disk allocation unit, divided by 32 (the size of a directory entry).

The number of entries allowed in a subdirectory is limited only by disk space;
subdirectories may span more than one allocation unit.
