Re: [squid-users] tune up

["Wennie V. Lagmay" <wlagmay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Its only now that I knew this cache_dir issue, Im using FC2 64 bit and using 
diskd for my  cache_dir. Is ther a way to migrate my cache_dir to aufs 
without harming my cache server.

1. Can you please provide me a step by step procedure.

Below is my cache_dir setup:
cache_dir diskd /cache1/spool/squid 25000 16 256 Q1=500 Q2=512
cache_dir diskd /cache2/spool/squid 25000 16 256 Q1=500 Q2=512
cache_dir diskd /cache3/spool/squid 25000 16 256 Q1=500 Q2=512

2. Which do you preferred:
cache_dir ufs /cache1/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir ufs /cache2/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir ufs /cache3/spool/squid 25000 16 256

or

cache_dir aufs /cache1/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache2/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache3/spool/squid 25000 16 256

Thanks,

Wennie
