Physical document hierarchy layouting?

It should be as logical as:

But I see no such structure in my install (as per attachment)

The documents are stored on disk (in the file system) using a simple hash. The object id is used to create what you see on disk. So an object with the id f5da36d9-bcba-421e-9932-317b3ae2ed4e will be hashed to the folder f5/da (assuming you have the default # of folder levels of 2). The object id is stored in the relational database and used to find/access the object. This approach is similar to almost every scalable document management/archive system I have ever seen. It is a highly scalable, fast architecture and allows for single object store (meaning if two binaries map to the same hash and are the same file then only one copy is stored).

Thanks, makes perfect sense!
