Single partition is suggested for cache_dir.

As a general rule the number of L2 directories should be same i.e. 256 and
for number of L1 directories
L1 = cache_dir size * 1024 / L2 / L2 / 8
     or cache_dir size / 500
 
 rounded upwards.
 
so for a cache_dir size of 2500 the number of L1 directories should be at
least 5.
 
 Hope this helps
