Does anyone here has any pointers on installing a high performance Squid? Things which are deemed _important_ * # of File Descriptors (ulimit -n) But there is a current Max of 4096 for Squid. (on my gentoo sys, there are 50k+ file-descriptors) * Cache_dir size to devote to caching * storageio? Noted that it builds "ufs" by default. There's still "diskd, coss, aufs & null) any ideas? According to Squid.con : aufs supposed to be an enhanced ufs which uses POSIX Threads so not to interfere ith Squid's IO. Diskd - Uses separate processes so not to interfere with Squid's IO * RAM, I believe More is better. but how does one measure. If I want to use a whole Disk to be used as cache, the miniscule RAM size will cause bottlenecks and then squid process will get bloated and degrade performance. * per-client statistics should be off. (client_db off) * What about running things like dansgguardian, ad_redirect, url_regex I would appreciate and and _all_ comments -- Ow Mun Heng <Ow.Mun.Heng@xxxxxxx>
