Hi, I read in a passed thread that running squid on a box with raid negatively affects performance of squid. Is this true for raid 5 as well as raid 0 ? The plan, if we decide to use raid, is to use 2 disks with raid 0 for OS (FC5) and have one disk with reiser fs for cache. Is this recommended or should we stay away from raid altogether?

What is the recommended amount of RAM required if we use a 72GB cache or alternatively a 144GB cache?
This too, (relationship between cache size and mem. requirements) is described in the FAQ. M.
Many thanks Paolo Biancolli
