RE: [squid-users] Disk Configuration

Everything I've read says that you should not use any RAID for your cache
directories. Make a bunch of cache dirs (each on its own disk), and let
Squid sort it out.

Subject: [squid-users] Disk Configuration

I am currently configuring a small army of squid servers to act as
transparent caches. They are running Fedora Core 3 and Squid 2.5. We are
using disk striping to have a fairly large and fast cache directory.

I have heard in older versions of Squid, that there were performance issues
if the cache directory got to large. We currently have approximately 250GB
of storage for our cache directory. Would you recommend having one huge
250GB cache directory or would you recommend having several smaller cache
directories all on the same disk?

Thank you,
Tom
