Sounds very high for a single drive. Usually the peak is seen somewhere around 30-50 req/s depending on the speed of the drive. Please note that there is a considerably higher stress on the drives when the cache is full than when running with a mostly empty cache. > Now, i want to add 1 more disk to increase the peak request.

Adding a new cache_dir does not affect the already cached files in other cache_dir. Regards Henrik
