IOERROR Cannot create anymore mailboxes

[Boyle, Bernadette]

Hello,
 
I have a terrible problem at the moment at the university with new
students not being able to receive mail because I cannot create any more
accounts.
 
I am currently running cyrus-imapd-2.0.17. However I cannot create any
more mailboxes.
 
I receive the following error when trying to create new accounts ...
 
Sep 15 19:05:16 sparrow imapd[7843]: [ID 721126 local6.error] IOERROR:
creating directory /var/spool/cyrus1/user/jsnadd11: Too many links
Sep 15 19:05:16 sparrow imapd[7843]: [ID 721126 local6.error] IOERROR:

creating directory /var/spool/cyrus1/user/jwatso26: Too many links
 .... and so it goes on
 
I currently have 32,765 directories in this account and it seems like
perhaps I have reached the quota. Is there anyway to stop this?
 
Warm Regards
