Hi, really nice modul. We use it, as our hoster overs just 2GB databases and we had problems in cache tables growing to big. Now as all cache tables are in the file system we don't have any database issues anymore.
To use filecache optimal, I have some questions now:
1. If I set Drupal cache e.g. to 5 minutes (on /admin/config/development/performance) - will there new cache files created each 5 minutes?
2. If 1. is true - what happens with the old cache files?
3. Can I still limit the number of cache files created? Link for database caching with something similar to
$settings['database_cache_max_rows']['bins']['data'] = 1000; ?

Background: the filecache is creating a lot of files and uses > 10 GB on our machine and I need to know if I can limit this size on a regular basis.
