Unfortunately in that area I'm restricted by a 2GB file size limit, beyond which various system binaries don't recognise the COSS files. Don't ask. :) There are ways round it though and for a one off benchmark I can setup a 7.5 GB COSS and a 2.5GB AUFS store. I'll let you know if this improves the benchmark results. I also intend to run a benchmark on the same hardware but with JBOD, and hopefully, given time I'll be able to benchmark a cluster of boxes. > Kinkie and I rewrote the RAID for Squid section of the FAQ and > it includes more details about price, performance and reliability trade-offs. Yep, that's a really good write up. Thanks. -RichardW.
