a more appropiated link should be:
http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/lk/lk-7.html

or the goolgle search:
http://www.google.com.cu/search?hl=en&q=linux++maximum+number+of+subdirectories+32000&btnG=Search

we run into this problem when we had more than 32000
users, in the home directory, we then create a tree
for user's home
/home/a
       \abel
       \amauri
/home/b
       \bruno

etc
maybe something like that could be the solution to
your problem
