The limit has nothing to do with subdirectories. It's the
number of links to an inode, period. You can have 32K-1 names that
point to a particular inode. With subdirectories, the subdir/.. is a
name that points to this inode. With a hardlink, it's whatever you
specifed to ln(1).
You can have 32K-1 links on an inode.
