QUESTION:
Is there any way to increase max number of subdirectories for the directory?
It looks that default limit is 32767.
Thanks in advance.

ANSWER:
I received several very similar replies, among them I will choose
one for the SUMMARY:
You REALLY don't want to unless you are un-interested in system
performance. Unix does NOT hash directories - each directory search is a
linear search of the inodes.
You are much better off dividing things up sooner - maybe build some kind
of binary or n-ary tree and put files into their appropriate bins.
