Hi!

 I think in theory there are none (i.e. a few thousand probably), but think that your resources may need any of (IP-Adress, NIC, Port, block-device, filesystem, CPU, memory, etc.). So the OS may impose limits on your resources. Despite of that the CIB being XML will become (I claim) "linearly inefficient with size of the CIB". The other think is cluster communication. A huge CIB will probably saturate the network at some point.

Of course that is just my opinion on things; maybe true experts can explain much better.

Regards,
Ulrich
