using aufs works fine.. my server receives about 4000 to 6000 req/min !! file system of hard disk is reiserfs4 !! USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND squid 32748 1.1 35.0 1493184 1446748 ? Sl Aug09 8:17 (squid) -D -s the server is very clean, running squid + QUAGGA/OSPF only... i/o loop using epoll.. I thought because diskd has an external procces it uses more threads .. later i will make more tests using diskd and post the new results !! regards !!
