Thread-topic: floppy problems

trying to copy lots (a few hundred) of little (2k or so) files to a
floppy disk under redhat 7.2.

after the first 200 or so, the floppy is only 40% full, but reports 'cp:
cannot create regular file....No space left on device'

i have a feeling that this has something to do with inodes, rather than
physical space.  Is there a limit on the number of files I can cram on?
Can I get rounding this by mounting the floppy as a specific type?

grateful for any crumbs you can offer,

thanks
