Found my numbers if you're interested. Using ab -n 500 -c 50 from localhost to a 8K static file. Apache 2.2.11 w/worker MPM. Module Requests/s mod_memcached_cache 145/s mod_disk_cache 1304/s mod_mem_cache 2122/s and for the memcached moduloe I was seeing errors in the apache log. Can't remember what they were now, but they weren't good, and couldn't fix them. -Tony --------------------------- Manager, IT Operations Format Dynamics, Inc. 303-573-1800x27 abiacco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.formatdynamics.com -----Original Message----- From: Anthony J.

I don't have the numbers right in front of me but at high requests and concurrency it fell apart under my load testing. -Tony Sent from my Windows Mobile(r) phone. -----Original Message----- From: Brantl M. Klaus <kmb@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 3:17 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: mod_disk_cache and ext3-limits Hi there, I've read about changing the FS to get more file-links/ dirs into one directory, but thats a bit of a problem here. So basicly I need to stay with ext3. Trouble is that changing the caching-behaviour with CacheDirLevels and CacheDirLength won't change the overall amount of URL's the system can cache. It always ends with about 32000 links within the CacheRoot - and thats the exact amount of "total entries" the htcacheclean delivers in verbose mode. Because of the structure of the site I'm working on we have tons of different URL's with very litte payload. So currently I'm reducing the cache to 500m with htcacheclean to stay in the range of abaut 25000 links. But thats not really what I need... I'm now thinking of using mod_memcached_cache, but don't know how "stable" this can be called. And of course our disks have more space left than we have memory to "waste". Any clue on how to save more that 32000 URL's mit mod_disk_cache and ext3? kind regards Klaus --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
