This statement is only true if you change the number of directories,
and/or sub-directories (the 15 and 256 in the example given). Changing
the size of the cache (even shrinking it) only requires a "squid -k
reconfigure". If the used disk space is greater than the allocation,
objects will be purged until the size on disk is below the high water mark.
