[squid-users] Re: cache_dir size v.s. available RAM

The rule-of-thumb is 15MB *per GB of cache size*.

Thanks Amos - that's the rule of thumb I was looking for.

Somewhere along the way I thought I saw 10MB per GB of Cache but it was
vague.

I was also given a piece of advice to maybe create multiple directories of
no more than 100 GB per.
I am guessing that this was to address the 16 256 Question I had in Question
2.

*IF* that is the case, would increasing it to 32 256 and having 1 cache
directory of 200GB not do the same thing as having 2 100GB caches with each
set at 16 256?

I ask only to try and better understand what it is that is taking place with
the setup.
