Uldis,

this sounds like a file system limitation rather than linux kernel one.
What file system are you using?
In any case, can you send me the output of the following commands:
df -i
df -h
That will check the inode and space usage on your file system.
Also run
ls -al | wc -l
in the var/log directory to find out how many directories there are.
 From a previous email I see that your workflows have a bunch of jobs 
that compile, build and create artifacts of separate parts of the 
project - that seems like a scenario for one job with multiple steps 
rather than separate jobs?
I also see that you have a job at the beginning of a workflow that 
checks if a build is necessary - I would assume that in most cases that 
just creates a build life without actually doing anything - maybe 
assigning a special status to that buildlife and having a cleanup policy 
that would remove those buildlives every day (along with maybe cleaning 
up all but the latest 3-4 failed builds every day) would greatly reduce 
the number of subfolders?
And as a last resort you could look into moving the AnthillPro install 
to a partition with a file system that allows for a larger number of 
subfolders (reiserfs?).

Regards,
Varban
