[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/2] disk_cache: reduce default cache size to 5% of filesystem

[Timothy Arceri]

Modern disks are extremely large and are only going to get bigger.
Usage has shown frequent Mesa upgrades can result in the cache
growing very fast i.e. wasting a lot of disk space unnecessarily.

5% seems like a more reasonable default.
