[OpenAFS-devel] PATCH: break up cache into reasonable subdirs for large cache sizes

[Neulinger, Nathan]

I wasn't meaning this alternative cache implementation, I was meaning in
general. I.e. I'd like to be able to plug in whatever backend cache is
appropriate or ideal. For example, I'd like to be able to try the winnt
style single cache file on unix boxes.

Why should it be modular?  How does it not strictly improve the
current situation?
