Re: [squid-users] Can not increase the cache_dir size

I unmounted the all my 10 drives
then i mkefs eache

But I got the same thing

Today I tried the folloeing to have more than 4GB of cache_size
i made 10 sub director on each harddisk
i made each one a cache_dir with size=400M
and my squid.conf was like this:

cache_dir diskd /cache1/d0 400 16 256
..
cache_dir diskd /cache1/d9 400 16 256
cache_dir diskd /cache2/d0 400 16 256
..
cache_dir diskd /cache2/d9 400 16 256
...
...
cache_dir diskd /cache10/d0 400 16 256
..
cache_dir diskd /cache10/d9 400 16 256

so i have now 400M*10*10=40G

But squid -z said that

2004/12/26 22:51:53| assertion failed: cache_cf.c:1285:
"swap->n_configured < 63"
Aborted

so i removed 4 of the ten /cache*
to have less than 64 cache_dir

and started squid and guess what every thing was very good !!
(I also had to set kerrnel.msgmni=1000 )

I know that this is crazy, and there should be another way of
increasing the cache_dir size I only have now 28G But each hard drive
is 143 GB

Any help, Please !!
