Configure it however you like. The traffic on your network is what
determines "best" so we cant tell you what to do very well (if we could
predict it would be automated already).
L1 and L2 on modern filesystems can be any multiple of 2. They exist to
allow manual avoidance of files-per-directory limitations on some
systems. The popular values tend to be powers of 2 such as 16/64,
16/128, 32/256, 64/256, etc
The general recommendation is to aim for storage of around 7 days worth
of traffic.
With a 850 GB disk I would allocate:
* 50GB rock cache_dir for objects size between 4KB and 32KB.
* 10GB rock cache for objects size under 4KB.
* the 600GB AUFS cache_dir for objects >32KB.
