I wanted to know if somebody here is running a Squid cache on a Solaris box (i386)?
Basically, I want to know if somebody here on this list is using a ZFS
file system for a proxy cache and what will be it's performance? Will it
improve or degrade Squid's performance? Or better still, is there any
kind of benchmark tools for graphing Squid performance on a ZFS file system?

Well I can't offer you much info, but I am running squid on a solaris 10 sparc
box (v100) using zfs for the cache and logging areas of squid. It's not a
high performing system but my impression is that performance has improved, but
I haven't done any benchmarking, the v100 is pretty low spec cpu and only 1
IDE hd. However, I can recommend using zfs for your caching filesystem.

Also on solaris 10 make sure you compile squid with --enable-devpoll to get
good performance.

I appreciate your tips and suggestions. Let me compile with the "--enable-devpoll" parameter and put Squid's Cache objects on a ZFS file system.

Will update you regarding the performance in the coming days ahead.

Thanking you...
