I'm cacheing big objects.

Hey all,

  I left maximum_object_size commented out (4MB). I had my cache
directories filling up. They are sitting on 4GB disks on a 2.2S5
machine and my cache entries are "cache_dir /cache3 3900 64 256".

I started troubleshooting and I ran into this 'du' output:

   ...
   ...
   8 3C
   8 3D
   8 3E
   8 3F
   500 swap.state.new
   41312 swap.state
   86776 07
   359112 09
   481408 08
   570680 06
   818968 00
   822670 04
   970132 02
   1064644 03
   1117302 01
   1868470 05

Am I correct in assuming that distribution is determined by the raw # of
files in a directory?

I went in '05' and I found out what was clogging me up:

   -rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 420718592 Mar 13 15:24 0005D33C

Shouldn't this never get on my disk or am I wrong? I'm also assuming
that large files are my problem and I suspect that my level-1 and
level-2 subdirectory settings are wrong.

I appreciate any insight into this.
