Re: [squid-users] Why UFS

What about it?

It is how the Squid cache originally was designed. The reason why L2 is
256 is because this gives reasonably sized directories. UFS does not
like having very many files in the same directory.

The reason why L1 is 16 is because this was big enough at the time these
values originally was set. Nowdays it is often a bit small.. (see plenty
of other messages on the relation between these two values)
