why tablespace at all? do some caclulation, buy a large disc and forget
about tablespace. (i.e. symlinks)

postgresql-cygwin certainly will have problems which such a
configuration. Please use a decent operating system and filesystem for
such a crazy idea.

cygwin is certainly not suited well for such a production database.
consider native windows or any unix instead.

NTFS is certainly not suited well for > 500 files per dir.
consider a unix filesystem instead.
