I could see tweaking a directory scheme to include the year and month. So, the directories would by 4- or 5-levels:
./2015/04/ff/fff/ff/

That would make it easier to use the symlink suggestion from extremeshok.

Related to the topic, it would be useful to have the storage scheme mentioned in the install documents. I might have tweaked my inode ratio had I known each message was stored as a file.

What I ended up doing was making /var a logical volume sitting on vg containing of two AWS "physical" volumes. That way I could add more physical volumes and extend the LV as needed. Not quite what the request is for, but it's similar.

Dear piler-users,

I'm not sure if you like the way piler stores message files, eg.
zillions of small files in a 3-level dir structure.

Someone asked for supporting multiple storages (https://bitbucket.org/jsuto/piler/issue/540/multiple-storage).

I'd like to hear your opinions on the matter as well.

Janos
