followed your directions. It worked.
My bad -- I hadn't deleted the old swap.state files, so it recreated missing directories (I'm guessing).
Anyway regarding the other questions...

2) Shouldn't object distribution, in the cache, be roughly equal in all "buckets"? I can see from the above, a bell curve with 8-11 files/dir being the most common -- except for the 1748 dirs that are unused?
No. Squid only fills as many directories as it needs for the cache size.
--- Hmm... I am guessing it bases directory usage to minimize file-lookup time based on the number of items in the cache not (i.e. not size of items), and, I may have had large items in my cache so I reached the cache's space limit before it needed to use more level-1 dirs?
Anyway -- everything is reinitialized now...will have to wait a while to see how the cache populates....with my web usage it may be a while.
Thanks for the insights!
