why 16 256 ? I'd advise 64 128

... on our 3x30G caches we have 2308712 + 2205632 + 2166493 objects, which
means ~ 128*128*128 objects (so the directories in depth are nearly loaded).
maximum_object_size is 20MB, replacement policy LFUDA

lower maximum_object_size would even allow you to store more objects, so
you could use 128 128 too...

maybe playing with squid_conf (create <temp_config> only with new
cache_dir-s and use different pid file) and run squid -z -f <temp_config>

adding new cache_dir to squid_conf and reloading existing squid should
work then...
