I wouldn't recommend this on ext3, except that you have less than 32.000
customers.

I'm using some kind of storage pools, so the structure on the filesystem
looks like this:

/data/strg_pool_id/customer_id/*.data

Basically I put ~1000 customers per storage pool, which is pretty useful
and avoids filesystems limitations.
