We have a couple of similar machines. P266, 512 MB, 4x9GB

I set cache_mem very low: 10 MB. With my load, 32 GB of disk,
and almost 2,000,000 objects in the cache, my process size
is about 190 MB.

For each 9GB disk, I have a (unix) swap partition and a filesystem:

4 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  b: 523640 0 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 246)
  c: 17850000 0 unused 512 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 8419*)
  d: 17326360 523640 4.2BSD 512 0 0 # (Cyl. 247 - 8419*)

On the 'd' parition I put a filesystem with 12k per inode. Then I put this
in squid.conf:

        cache_dir /cache1/1.2Cache 8000 16 128

When full, df -k shows:

        /dev/sd0d 8533292 7490435 360194 95% /cache1
