first of all decide a place or HD that will be used as cache, if you are serious then consider a separate Hard disk for cache. Say I have a disk of 20 GB mounted under /cache then to use it you have to modify squid.conf .

Code: [Select]

# use to set where to store cache. here it is /cache of size 2048 MB.
  # Here 22 and 256 are used to define directory structure so you don't have to touch it.

cache_dir ufs /cache  22 256 20480 here 20480 is the 20 GB . ie it is in MB .
