It seems that recent Red Hat packages of Squid are using the "--enable-truncate" config option by default. Aparently someone there thinks there is a gain to be made by truncating rather than unlinking the cached objects. I wonder if this is applicable to my Squid (v2.5S9) installation. I'm running a Red Hat distro, but using a ReiserFS filesystem (with notail,noatime options) for my cache rather than RH's default ext3. Both configurations use aufs for storage. I'm looking for a little guidance on whether or not "--enable-truncate" is appropriate for me. Any opinions? Thanks.
