cache_dir and file system performance

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
   There is a formula in squid-cache.org page to calculate the number
of first and second level directories. How does this decision differs
or let me say, when we have reiserfs file system on cache_dir, do we
add any factor to this formula? You know reiserfs doesnt have linear
search algorithm and its performance is different when large amount of
files exist in a directory.
   I am asking this question because I have seen a squid installation
which has 3GB of cache_dir having the following configuration:
   cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid 3072 60 312

Isn't this too large for a 3GB of cache_dir which is a reiserfs file
system. I will test performance difference when I decrease the first
level number of directories but before that I would like to get your
opinions. If you have any ideas, I will be glad to hear them.

Regards.
