RE: [squid-users] Recommended Store Size

Of course you can :)

The trick to making these adjustments is having a means to gauge their
benefit/detriment...personally, each of my squid servers have all their
metrics graphed in Cacti and generate a Calamaris report each night, so
I get good hard data that can be compared to a historical baseline. Put
this kind of monitoring in place (especially cacti IMO), and you wont be
tied to rules of thumb.

I have two squid servers. Each processes around 120GB a day with about
43% request hit ratio and 25% byte hit ratio. The cache size is 300GB
with 6GB memory. Per rule of thumb, can I increase my cache size?

Thank you.
