Both general-purpose Unix file systems and database stores are not optimized for proxy workloads. However, Squid does have a file store that uses just one file per store_dir. It is called COSS and you can use it with Squid 2.7. To minimize errors on restarts, more work is needed than just using a single Unix file. Squid3 should have store features in that direction in the foreseeable future. HTH, Alex.
