Re: [squid-users] aufs problems in 2.5STABLE1

Michael,

I'v been running Squid 2.4 on Solaris 8 (Sparc) using Diskd for over a
year now without any trouble. I haven't yet tried Squid 2.5 but be sure to
pay attention to these FAQ entries:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-14.html#ss14.1 - disk write error:
(28) No space left on device. Be sure to tune your file system to optimize
for space instead of time. This will bite you eventually.

and..

Related to Diskd...Read (and implement) the Solaris specific info..

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-22.html#ss22.6

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-22.html#ss22.7
