The issue here is this:
```
function writeFile() {
  global["writeFile0"](fileNum);
  if (++fileNum < maxFileNum) {
    setTimeout("writeFile()", 100);
  }
}
```
This is setting up 100 timeouts that will fire nealry at the same time. I think you are expecting them to queue up.

If you get rid of the setTimeout and just call writeFile() I think you will find it will run fine.

...sorry, my bad... by tearing it apart I missed the part of calling the right thing from the right place. Here what I wanted to say:

var fs = require('fs');

var maxFileNum = 100, fileNum = 0;

function writeFile0(i){
   var data = Math.random().toString();
   var name = `file_${i}`;
   var res = fs.writeFile(name, data);
   if (! res) {
     console.log(`did not write!, ${name}, ${data}`);
   }
    setTimeout("writeFile()", 100);
  }
}

function writeFile() {
  if (++fileNum <= maxFileNum) {
    global["writeFile0"](fileNum);
  }
}

function onInit() {
  writeFile();
}
setTimeout(onInit, 1000);
