Since they are on the same partition, this is a bit pointless. We tend
to be limited by the available inodes/space on the physical partition on
which /vicepa is located.

There is ofcourse a slight problem if currently chosen depth and width
of the tree are not sufficient, changing either of those will make the
server not find existing container files. I guess it would be useful to
have something that can change the depth and width of the tree of
container files in an existing partition, but we haven't actually had a
case where we needed that.

Actually you are probably not placing them both on the same physical
device or partition when you move one of them to a real dir.
