Number of Mounted Volumes Can Handle?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.advanced_server (More info?)

We have had several instances where one department would fill up the
file server and lock out
everyone else because the drive was full. We have looked into getting
a soft solution such, but management
is reluctant to dish the money and would rather use an alternative.

The plan is to set up separate volumes for each Department and then
also each
department's divisions with a separate mounted volume. Sounds good,
but I am concerned with wether
the server could handle the amount of mounted volumes and how it would
affect performance.
The approximate amount of volumes would be around 100.

What are your thoughts on this?
