(For reiserfs it > was recommended to use the notail,noatime mount options.) Just 'noatime' for us; notail is specific to reiser. I don't recall using any special options when creating them. We did extensive performance tests when moving to samba (from NT4) several years ago, and compared ext2, ext3, reiser and xfs. XFS was the clear winner, and the fact that xfs also had the best support for quotas, ACLs, and EAs at the time was also a factor. Granted, samba is lot different from squid, but xfs seems to work pretty well all around. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Shawn Wright, I.T.
