You can do it with the cache_dir in the squid.conf

cache_dir /www/cache1
cache_dir /www/cache2
cache_dir /www/cache3
cache_dir /www/cache4

They can show to different partitions. For large partitions it make
sense to define more than one cache_dir because you get more directory
entries for caching. One cache_dir 100 entries.

Attention - I think you loose the old cache if you add cache_dir lines
to squid.conf.
