No, but the resulting directory sizes of the L2 directories should be reasonably block-aligned (the directory itself, not the file contents within the directory), and not too many blocks. Details obviously very filesystem dependent.. additionally L2 should not be excessively large. Squid processes one L2 folder at a time in a cleaning background job. L2 of 256 is a reasonable average that should work well with most filesystems. L1 should be scaled to with the cache content. If set too large you get a bunch of L2 directories never used, if set too small then Squid wraps around on the L1 directories and will start storing more objects per L2 than it should.. Regards Henrik
