I have a terrible problem at the moment at the university with new students not being able to receive mail because I cannot create any more accounts.
What operating system/filesystem?
I currently have 32,765 directories in this account and it seems like perhaps I have reached the quota. Is there anyway to stop this?
That number sounds suspiciously close to 32,768 (2**15), particularly if
you add 2 for '.' and '..'. Sounds like you've hit a hard limit on the number of files allowed in a directory. Afraid that the only likely solution will be a different filesystem or operating system.
