Squid fills the directory in numeric order, so all L2 directories in
your active L1 directories should be used.

L1/L2/filenumber

00/00/00000000
00/00/00000001
..
00/FF/00FFFFFF
01/00/01000000

so you will find that the last L1 directories are empty, and that the
last used L1 directory only have some of it's first L2 directories used.

Nope.
