Object caching created 4096 folders, used up all inodes, crashed site

    I think something is wrong with object caching in the latest version of this plugin. I have 3 different sites running on 3 different Bluehost VPS accounts with object caching enabled. After the latest update they all created 4096 folders in the /wp-content/cache/object/ folder. Each of those folders had almost 500 folders within them. This used up all the inodes and caused at least one of the sites to go down. I checked another site that is also on Bluehost VPS, has object caching enabled, but was running version 0.9.5.1, and it only had 8 folders in the object cache folder. So, I think something is wrong in the latest update that is causing the object cache to run amok. I’ve turned off object caching for now, but a fix would be great.

    Disk cache isn’t the better choise for object cache. Try some memory cache module like redis, memcache or apcu.
