[squid-users] Veritas filesystems and Squid

Does any have of any known performance issues using Veritas disk
management (and thus, filesystems) with SQUID on Solaris 2.7?

Also, in reading the documentation on the web, I saw somewhere
recommended that RAID5 *not* be used as the target disk(s) for
the cache. In trying to maintain uptime, should a disk go bad,
using RAID5 would give us a WIN situation. What are the reasons
to NOT use RAID5, and do you think they outweigh keeping a
system up (ie, RAID5 allows for the hotswapping of disk drives
should it become necessary)?

Thanks,

Deb
