Re: [squid-users] Linux EXT3 optimizations for Squid

Hi,

I would build with the following in mind:

1. Better to have a separate disk for the cache stores.
2. Have a COSS store for objects less than 256k. And let AUFS handle
larger objects.
3. Don't have more than 75% of your disk allocated.
4. Only one AUFS store per disk. But you can have more than one COSS.
5. RAID is highly discouraged.
6. Regex is best avoided

Regards,
HASSAN
