I found a stagnant bug describing this problem. It's ~three years old. Thanks Matus for trying to answer the question. I think you misunderstood what the question was. Maybe this is better to understand. CacheRoot = /cache/ cd /cache ls |grep -v aptmp|wc -l 64 The 64 represents the 0-9a-zA-Z_@ dirs created by the cache. ls |wc -l 42332 So why are there 42,000 files sitting in CacheRoot? Why aren't they stored in their proper buckets? If this is a feature then I can't work out why. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
