Re: [squid-users] cache storage problem? (squid 3)

Here's my settings:

cache_mem 1 GB

cache_dir diskd /var/spool/squid/1 2000 128 256
cache_dir diskd /var/spool/squid/2 2000 128 256

Each cache dir is a partition on a SCSI drive (each on separate
drives). The partitions are 60 gig. The system also has 3 gig of RAM.

It also seems as though the network traffic decreases greatly whenever
objects are written to disk cache.
