[squid-users] Vedr.: Re: [squid-users] Vedr.: Re: [squid-users] Big IO load.. with only few files.. how come?

Hi Adrian,

btw. I wrote some other mails - with other subjects - but in regards to the
same basic problem..

here you can also see vmstat output and output from squid - while it was
loaded.. and you can also see what i'm running squid on..

it's a 2xPIII-1ghz, 1gb ram, 2x18gb (in raid 1) 10k rpm scsi disks, 160mb/s
Hardware Raid controller.

Uhm, if you're using iDE anywhere, make sure you've turned DMA on.
That's burnt me a few times when doing squid work under Linux.

A few lines of vmstat output when the cache is heavily loaded will
tell us where the bottleneck may be.
