Issue created Feb 21, 2019 by Bohdan Horbeshko@bodqhrohro

55773 files in ~/.cache/fontconfig/

It looks weird. Some of the files are 6 years old. I'm not sure if this cache is effective at all, as most of large caches I have seen use prefixing to speedup filesystem lookup.

root@localhost:~# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches 
root@localhost:~# time ls -l /home/bodqhrohro/.cache/fontconfig/ > /dev/null

real	0m25,959s
user	0m0,964s
sys	0m2,015s

Moreover, it's still there after I ran fc-cache -frs (from user, of course), with the same timestamps. Would it be safe if I just clear the directory? Or all of these thousands of files will reappear anyway on the next cache rebuild?

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
