Hi,

I had this problem also back in january. It's on the todolist of Squid
makers to make multiple cachedirs possible WITH differentsizes.

At this moment the only solution i know of that works is to divide your
harddisks into multiple pieces that are equal to each other.

I now have 3 partitions and 1.5 Gb cache specified as:

# Swap amount total
cache_swap 1500

# Disk 1 is 850 mb and divided in 550 squid en 300 programs
# Disk 2 and 3 are each 570 mb
cache_dir /squid-cache1
cache_dir /squid-cache2
cache_dir /squid-cache3

Thus i have a total of 1650 swap possible (started with 1500 to be sure).

Hopes it won't flow over with this solution.

If you want to know more, feel free to mail me.
