RE: [squid-users] More than one cache?

3 disks -> use a raid 0 across two for cache, and use the third for logs and
swap. Any OS that agressively buffers writes should have little problem
with logs on a single disk; this is more ideal than a two disk situation,
but doesn't provide redundancy (via mirror) like a raid 1, so have good
backup for your logs.

But I have only 3 disks.
