but whatever the limit is (hoster, os, inodes etc), we are bound to hit it sometime. best to file a feature request to be able to have directorys like /images/a/anton.jpg or even deeper /images/a/an/anton.jpg where the admin can create how deep these dirs have to be

or change files to files2 after getting close to 2000 and then change it again to files3 ....
in admin/settings

the current file upload implementation of 'everything in one directory' is just not scalable for many users. i'm not sure why it was implemented this way. at the very least, they should have a configureable max files per dir and create incremental sub-directories.

here's a feature request related to this problem: http://drupal.org/node/28769

more scalable then drupal ?

Well there are just two contenders to the throne that have all the features I like. Seems like typo3.org is a really good choice too. I don't know how scalable it is though.

thanks

Maybe I didn't express myself very clearly.
I had narrowed my search down to Drupal and Typo3. I stuck with Drupal and never tried Typo3 since Drupal works just fine for me.
So these were the two top CMS from my point of view.

drupal's scalability is not defined by arbitrary restrictions placed on users by ISPs.

if your ISP, for example, limited you to 10 mysql tables, you couldn't turn around and say drupal doesn't scale ;)
