A cache_dir is effectively gone if the disk has failed, causing all
writes to that particular cache_dir to fail.

What I ment was that if we only adjust the total, then a Squid running
with one failed cache_dir may eventually end up with store_swap_size 0
even thougth there is several other cache_dir directories that are
helthy and fine. Well, it probably crashes before but ;-).
The reason why I mention this is that I have a dream that it is possible
to build a disk-fault tolerant cache server without relying on any type
of RAID. If Squid could (gradually) phase out a disk that is bad without
manual intervention then it is a big step on the way.
