The /dev has 5375 files. When click on the tree /, a warning box pop up
saying the /dev 'Too Many Files', the folder dev contains more files than
Nautilus can handle. 

This should not happen.

notabug, there is a nautilus gconf preference

apps => nautilus => preferences => directory limit

set it equal to -1 if you want unlimited files.
