Or in the case of full dir hashing, have a second hash function and hash 
the names that get assigned to one bin into an additional set of bins. 
 As was previously mentioned, having multiple partitions also solves 
this problem but since the trend seems to be consolidating storage it 
would be nice to be able to handle the large numbers of users in a 
single partition rather than creating multiple partitions in the same 
filesystem with the associated administrative hassle.
