> Disk space comprises of 70 Gb
> Intended is caching of windows update.

> Single is dedicated to running squid on Ubuntu 8.04

> Current Settings : cache_dir aufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 50000 16 256
> However i beleived that it should be changed to something like this: cache_dir aufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 50gb 48 768

> cache_dir aufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 20000 32 512..... etc etc.

> The confusion is that isnt it correct to allocating this large 50gb hard-disk space to caching? Does such large cache will result in some issues? Does this large size has to do with some latency issue etc?
