I wanted to know if somebody here is running a Squid cache on a Solaris

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...
