OK - sorry... my mistake - lets presume that I have 25 Gb from a total
of 50 Gb to play with - and I want to use it as proxy space - would you
recommend that I

(a) create one big cache dir - ie. 25600 16 256
or
(b) create two or more smaller cache dirs - 2 x 12800 16 256 (etc)

the next question is what I use for the "16 256" parts? ie.

/usr/local/squid/cache ufs 25600 16 256
                                 ^^ ^^^
or
/usr/local/squid/cache ufs 25600 32 512
                                 ^^ ^^^

> yes. you can add these new dirs to squid cache without losing access.

Can you please tell me what flags/commands I should use to do this?

Kind Regards,
