[OT] Linux caches

My precious linux server box stopped working!... namely the telnet server, the
samba server, and the squid server. There may have been more, but not something
that I used...

When I found that my hard drive capacity was 4.3G and my used space was 4.3G (by
cat'ing something in the /proc folder) I got a little suspicious. This machine is
a fileserver and an internet gateway, and it has a 1G internet cache set.
Methinks the cache should be smaller for such a small hard drive.

How do I change the internet cache size (in squid I think) down to something a
little more maneageable, and what is the location of the cache folder, so I can
clear it out?

Sorry to bother you Euphorians.
