At the time of the thread, some peoples raised concerns about this limit. But 
at the time nobody highlighted a real case which required a lot of hard links.

Pay attention that in order to reach the limits the hard links have to be in 
the same directory.

If there is a real case in gentoo/bosybox, please send all the info. But in 
order solve this problem, it was told that a disk format change is required.
