Still, with several smaller independent disks for the cache_dirs, what filesystem is recommended for this use?
The difference between ext2/ext3/reiserfs isn't very large. But remember to mount them noatime.
for very high load situations ext3 requires some planning of the filesystem journal size and location as it's journal flushing algorithm seems to have a bit more to ask, at least in the default "ordered" mode with a default journal size.
