FAT doesn't have inodes.

It does have a limited number of entries in the root of the filesystem.
The limit is 512 entries.  Long filenames take multiple entries per file
(the excact number being at least 2 and up to however many it takes to
store the filename.  Longer names use more entries.)  Subdirectories do
not have such limitations.
