Re: Cache in multiple disks

Hi,

Basically there is another alternative, if say disk1 has twice the amount
of disk-space as disk2 you create 2 cache-directories on disk1 and 1 on
disk2 and tell squid the total amount of disk-space available and the
directories where to put the cache in, this works for me.

Good Luck,
Regards
Walter
