I'm guessing the user is expecting there to be one cfs file for the index, and does not understand that its actually per segment.

This sounds completley normal form what i remembe about mergeFactor.

Segmenets are merged "by level" meaning that with a mergeFactor of 5, once
5 "level 1" segments are formed they are merged into a single "level 2"
segment.  then 5 more "level 1" segments are allowed to form before the
next merge (resulting in 2 "legel 2" sements).  Once you have 5 "level 2"
sements, then they are all merged into a single "level 3" segment, etc...
