File map bits

Dear List,

My cache manager is currently showing this:

Store Directory Statistics:
Store Entries : 47403
Maximum Swap Size : 10240000 KB
Current Store Swap Size: 314062 KB
Current Capacity : 3% used, 97% free

Store Directory #0: /cache
First level subdirectories: 16
Second level subdirectories: 256
Maximum Size: 10240000 KB
Current Size: 314062 KB
Percent Used: 3.07%
Filemap bits in use: 47399 of 65536 (72%)
Filesystem Space in use: 374336/15309448 KB (2%)
Filesystem Inodes in use: 0/0 (0%)

I could be wrong, but I believe Filemap bits are not supposed to go that
high. The Squid FAQ says that ideally the filemap bits should reach 50%
when the cache is full. I lowered my store_avg_object_size to 6 KB (Cache
Manager reports 6.6KB mean object size) and this still does not change. I'm
worried that this number will continue to climb and Squid will crash.

SQUID.2.3.STABLE1
Linux 2.2.14
cache_mem 80 MB
cache_dir ufs /cache 10000 16 256

I believe I have followed the FAQ, and the Cache Manager still reports that
abnormally high value. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
