Re: [squid-users] cache_dir

Hi,

How to work it out.

12GB = 12 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes

With 256 second level directories (each with 256 entries) and an average
object size of 13kBytes and a safety fatcor of 2, I get

12*1024*1024*1024*2 12*4*4*2 384
------------------- = -------- = ---
13*1024*256*256 13 13

which is somewhere around 30. I'd have to say, use 28 like swelltech told
you to or use 30. However, 16 isn't enough.
