ok, I tried this:
~/tst % cat t.c
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int x, i, counter;
char buf[200];
char buffer[2048];
memset(buffer, '%', sizeof(buffer));
for (counter = 0; counter < 20000; counter++)
{
sprintf(buf, "%s/%d", argv[1], counter);
x = open(buf,O_CREAT | O_WRONLY);
if (x == -1) {
perror("open");
exit(1);
}
write(x, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
close(x);
}
return 0;
}
mkdir a b c d e f g h
for i in a b c d e f g h ; do ./a.out $i & ; done
~/tst % find . | wc -l
74246
Looks like your test program has a bug.
Can you try to reduce it down to a reproduceable case?
