Simple answer? No!

You might want to have a look at your squid.conf file and see how much
diskspace is allocated for its cache. Look for a line like this default.
cache_dir ufs /var/cache/squid 100 16 256
The 100 is the size in Meg in this default.

Remember that if you change the size it really means trashing the old cache
and have squid recreate and nice new empty one with squid -z

Please do not hijack an existing thread as many users with threaded news
readers will not see it!
