Re: [squid-users] Calculating cache_dir L1 parameter

Probably me..

L1 = cache_dir size * 1024 / L2 / L2 / 8 * 2

or simplified for L2 = 256 (default, recommended)

L1 = size / 256

With modern Squids you can go down maybe 40% if you like, but having to
many does not hurt except that "squid -z" takes longer to run..
