Hi,
is it possible to use cachefilesd with multiple directories (disks)?
The fine manual is not very clear about this:
dir <path>
This command specifies the directory containing the root
of the cache. It may only specified once per
configuration file.
This may be interpreted as either:
1) no, it's not possible to use multiple directories with cachefilesd
2) it's not possible to use multiple directories with one cachefilesd
process, but it's perfectly OK to run multiple instances of cachefilesd
on one server
Which one is true?

And what about this answer by David Howells?

You would have to have two config files and two daemons (one
per cache). Each cache needs to be managed separately.
