Yes. > Does this mean that L2 parameter specify both number of level2 dirs > and max number of objects per level2 directory? Or what? Yes. The purpose of the L2 parameter is to control the number of entries per directory to avoid excessive CPU usage in scanning directories. Most filesystems stores directories linearly, causing poor open/close performance on large directories. To small directories on the other hand wastes memory on OS level directory caching.
