I haven't checked recently, as my copy's running well, but shouldn't this be an
advisory in the FAQ? It seems common-sense'ish ... I keep my logs in /var....
and my cache is its own partition, so it can't over-fill :) ... wouldn't it be a
good idea to recommend to new Squid users to put the cache on its own drive, or
at least its own partition in case, for some reason, it overflows? And to keep
the log files in a seperate partition?

I know one admin who keeps the logs in /home/squid ... because /home is seperated
... whatever works.
