bad bad. only define one cache directory on one harddisk.

in addition to alredy recommended running 'squid -z'

I would say that you will have that many objects in your cache that you
will run out of memory. If you are on 32-bit system of course processes
have 4GB memomry limit there and even metadata of your cache will take
more than this limit.

Defining higher maximum_object_size can delay this problem for some time.
I would even recommend you doing this, if you have that big cache.

Then, you will need to do different things with your cache.
