RE: [squid-users] FreeBSD :Diskd ? (WAS: Compile Crash)

Yes, that's *exactly* what I'm saying. If the FBSD developers tell me not
to use it for any reason on their system, I'll listen to them :) . As far
as mounting only your cache dir's async, that's a personal choice, but I'd
strongly recommend against it. Also, I'd really encourage you to use (or at
least look into) DIRPREFS, they'll really speed up your system for this sort
of thing.

As far as the diskd thing goes, I'm sure Henrik et. al. could give a much
better answer, but AFAIK, it's simply a daemon that does the disk i/o for
squid, with configurable options to bypass the disk when i/o gets too heavy.
Anyone care to give a better answer?
