Re: [squid-users] only using one first-level cache directory

Does look correct to me as you have told Squid to put up to 4194304
(2048 * 2048) files in each L1 directory.. and as Squid starts with the
first directory first all your files will be in the first L1 directory..

With this setting all directories from 00/100 to 1F/7FF will not even
have a theoretical chance of being used.

Generally the default L2 parameter of 256 is recommended for all setups
unless you have very specific reasons to change it (I usually use
smaller values in testing with a very small cache, but 256 for larger
caches >200MB). With a L2 parameter of 256 the default L1 parameter of
16 is good up to about 7GB of cache IIRC.
