jackrabbit error: can't create folder

Question

I am using Jackrabbit version 1.6 on IBM AIX. It is similiar to Linux operating system. Jackrabbit is used to store files being uploaded by the users of my application. I get an error "can't create a folder" when the JCR has stored more than 32767 files/folders in the directory specified in the repository (in configuration file).

Has this problem been resolved in the latest version of Jackrabbit. I understand that this is the OS limit but with a tweak in the file storing mechanism of Jackrabbit this problem can be solved

Or

Is there a way that I can specify in the JCR confirgutation that it should store the files in some other directory once the 32767 limit is reached.

Or

Is there a way that I save the files monthwise/weekwise because I am sure that in one month I would have less than 32767 files.

Any help/comment is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tarik

I suggest to not use the XMLPersistenceManager, because if the JVM process is killed the repository might turn inconsistent . An alternative is to use a Bundle Database PM .
