[squid-users] max_open_disk_fds

Hi all,
Here is this tag in squid.conf.
# TAG: max_open_disk_fds
# To avoid having disk as the I/O bottleneck Squid can optionally
# bypass the on-disk cache if more than this amount of disk file
# descriptors are open

What actually squid does when max_open_disk_fds is set to a non-zero
value? Does it keep the objects in memory until less than this amount of
disk file descriptors are open?
In fact, I'm looking for a method to have cached objects in memory as
long as possible.
