Also, ext2/ext3 has (now) option dir_index (see man tune2fs) which is used to speed up file lookups in large directories. However I think that should noe be needed because of squid directory structure, but you still may try. > OK I will first try ext2 ... if it crashes then switch to ext3 ... I asked you if you already do have performance problems. If you dislike ext*, try xfs. I'd say it's more safe than reisersfs. (actually, you can use reisersfs with "nolog" option to get some speed more) -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
