I'm not sure if this will help, but have you considered ext3, or any of
those experimental file systems (although I believe they are pretty darn
stable, I know several places that use ext3). I haven't read much of the
specs on ext3, but by chance it might support huge directories like that.
You could make the table, then insert a row with the 1000 as the id, and
delete it after you get some other rows in there.
rather messy, but it works.
