So, this should always be the same size?

ca?
I guess I am missing something?
90000 * 2 / 256 / 256 = 2.746582 / 13000 = .0002112 ??
Could you provide an example or 2?
# AUFS
# cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
cache_dir aufs /cache0 24000 32 256
cache_dir aufs /cache1 90000 64 768
cache_dir aufs /cache2 90000 64 768
cache_dir aufs /cache3 90000 64 768

Sorry to be so dense at the moment.
Thank you so much!
