ext4 is unlimited.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 is wrong in the section "Break 32,000
subdirectory limit". SOmeone should correct it, because
https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Sub_directory_scalability
clearly tells " Ext4 breaks that limit and allows unlimited number of
sub directories".
There is also an ext3 -> ext4 howto in the same page I gave above.
