"cache_dir /var/spool/squid 100 16 256"
is already a setting...

the cache_dir size should be as big one week's HTTP traffic.
the second level directory number probably should stay 256, the first
depends on cache size, minimal and maximal file size.

have you read the FAQ?
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-3.html#ss3.11

however, for 2x120GB spool and for objects 0B - 32 MB I'd use setting

cache_dir 100000 32 256

and use two caches, one on each drive.

> and cache_mem ??

try to look at: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-8.html

you will find out how much memory will squid probably eat, substract that
from memory your machine has and wee how many will remain for rest of the
OS. I think you can use 8MB memory cache, however I use 300MB with maximom
object size in memory set to 256KB
