Why've you got enable-poll, enable-select, and enable-kqueue? :) Anyway.
Hi Adrian,
Thanks for your reply and suggestions as always.
This was one of my first experimental freebsd proxy server. I had
enabled all 3 of the above compilation options thinking that I would
have a choice of 3 instead of 1!:)
But my question is: does it degrade the performance of Squid? If I just
use enable-kqueue, will it give a performance boost?
Thanking you...
By the way, I don't seem to have /etc/libthr.conf in my FreeBSD 6.0 box. Is this normal?
You won't have one by default.
If I just let Squid run continuously, which I am, then COSS does it's job quite well and I have low median service times.
If I have to stop and restart Squid on rare occasions, only then it takes Squid at least 1 hour to rebuild my COSS storage which is about 20 GB in size.
Squid rebuilds COSS async but it will do it by reading the entire COSS file in
from start to finish. Its not efficient at all. Try running iostat or
systat -vmstat 1 whilst its rebuilding and see if you've saturating the disk
IO.
I'm sorry guys, I just don't have the time to work on fixing up COSS past its
current state at this present time.
Adrian
