First off, there's no possible way my cache would "fill" the '/' partition. There's a cache size directive in squid that's designed to limit the amount of disk space usage. Not to mention the fact that I have a utility script that runs every 15 minutes, which pages me if partitions are >= to 90% their capacity. I mean, honestly, who would run a 146GB cache? Second off, it's a performance thing. The fact is, the box and the web run quite fine. This was a test server that was thrown into production because it works. My plans to upgrade the device are set, I'm just trying to find the time to do them. :-) Thirdly, can someone PLEASE answer my question about setting "/" to 'noatime', as opposed to avoiding it by telling me how and why what I'm doing is stupid? Once again, are there pitfalls to having '/' set to 'noatime'? :-) Tim Rainier Information Services, Kalsec, INC trainier@xxxxxxxxxx "Joost de Heer" <sanguis@xxxxxxxxx> 10/11/2005 05:07 PM Please respond to sanguis@xxxxxxxxx To trainier@xxxxxxxxxx cc squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject Re: Which the best OS for Squid? trainier@xxxxxxxxxx said: > What if the squid cache is stored on the "/" partition? That's a bad idea. Your cache could potentially fill up the root partition. > Wouldn't that be a hideous mistake to set "/" to 'noatime' ? Wouldn't it be a hideous mistake to put the cache on the same partition as "/"? Joost
