Are you running into the actual hardlink limit or an inode limit? ext3 has a hard coded hardlink limit but hardlinks are also limited by available inodes. you can check your available inodes with tu

tune2fs reports: Inode count: 37429248 Free inodes: 33290944 So either I have to use another filesystem with a higher limit, but we will eventually run into the same problem
