If you set the -(whatever the other one is) to '30', you will
effectively put all the cache files into one subdirectory. It still
wouldn't be 100% compatible with the current cache style, because all
the cachefiles would be in /path/to/cache/D0/V* (instead of
/path/to/cache/V*), but I think reiserfs would work fine with this
situation.

The deletion happens first.
