[squid-users] newbie: WARNING cache_mem is larger than total disk cache space!

Sorry for what must be a dumb question, but I can't get this error to go
away
on my new Squid setup.

# service squid reload
2003/06/24 16:59:58| WARNING cache_mem is larger than total disk cache
space!

Here's my config:

# squid -v
Squid Cache: Version 2.4.STABLE6

# cat /etc/squid/squid.conf|grep ^cache_dir
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 8000 16 256

# cat /etc/squid/squid.conf|grep ^cache_mem
cache_mem 500 MB

# cd /usr/local/squid/var/cache
# df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde2 12G 1.6G 10G 14% /usr

Thanks, in advance for your help (and for the cool software).
