Hi Alex, By doing so I'll get a new (or the same) rough estimation which is not what I'm really looking for. Actually I need to have a formula based on the mean object size so I can periodically (with a cron) get the mean object size and with the help of that formula reconfigure Squid accordingly. The reconfiguration will be as follow: - If the mean object size is too low compared to the RAM/HDD ratio then I can reduce the HDD usage by Squid (cache_dir ... Low-Mbytes-Size ...). A reload of the new squid configuration should be sufficient. Isn't it? Or I'll need to restart Squid? - If the mean object size is to high compared to the RAM/HDD ratio then I can fully use the HDD for Squid and do some optimizations (for instance as the RAM will not be fully used by the in-memory index I can use it for the cache_mem). I need this industrialization to be able to install Squid on heterogenous environments (with different mean object size) so I'll not have to propose a new configuration whenever I install Squid.
