hi there !

first of all: thx for the great work ! squid is definitely a state of the
art proxy. but now my question:

im running redhat linux with ext3 (!)
i a have 2 4.1 gb uw-scsi disks which are used by squid. so i have 2 lines
in my squid.conf:

cache_dir ufs /proxycache1/cache/ 3072 7 256
cache_dir ufs /proxycache2/cache/ 3072 7 256

this is a result of an algorithm i was given:

cache_dir [ufs | asyncufs] dir MB L1 L2
perfect for ext2:
L2 := 256
L1 := ceil( MB / 416 )
so why / 416 ?

it would be great if you could send me an algorithm (or a link) which lets
me calculate good values for L1 and L2 when using ext3 or maybe reiserfs for

the cache-disks

sorry for my bad english and thx in advance

tim
