system can crash too, etc etc. do not use ext2, unless you are prepare to
wait for FSCK if that happens, or re-create the cache.

squid directory structure is made so problems from lots of files in
directory should not happen. squid tries to put only a few files into each
directory, that's why it has two-level subdirectory structure.

Also, ext2/ext3 has (now) option dir_index (see man tune2fs) which is used
to speed up file lookups in large directories. However I think that should
noe be needed because of squid directory structure, but you still may try.

I asked you if you already do have performance problems.
If you dislike ext*, try xfs. I'd say it's more safe than reisersfs.

(actually, you can use reisersfs with "nolog" option to get some speed
more)
