Could you give me the formula for calculating the number of tiles?
Also, do you have any tips about format/compression/metadata? TNX David<br>

but the problem is the actual tile image sizes will depend on what kind
of map you have... blank/ocean areas and photographic imagery beeing
the most important factors. That's why optimizing the image output
(format/compression/metadata) from your mapserver is quite important.
What you could do is try to determine what the largest tile image would
be and use that multiplied number of tiles as the estimated maximum
size for the cache.<br>

there a simple formula for estimating the disk space requirements for<br>
the tile cache? Thanks, David<br>
