Ok, I've done this but how can I verify that the cache is not active. store.log is showing lots of activity, all GET requests. I've also converted to COSS from AUFS, which now I am seeing a much better I/O response, but i still get these 3-4min issues where using the proxy makes browisng so slow. This happens randomly, once an hour, maybe one every couple hours...etc. ________________________________________ From: Leonardo Rodrigues Magalha~es [leolistas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 11:09 AM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Nick Duda Subject: Re: How to disable cache and verify, also performance issues Nick Duda escreveu: > How can I properly disable caching and then verify it. > > easy ... i have done that recently when running squid on VERY low-end devices :) first you'll have to recompile squid to include null storeio system: '--enable-storeio=aufs,null' them have: cache_dir null /tmp in your squid.conf and comment all other cache_dir lines, if they exist.... there it goes, no disk caching at all. There still be some caching, but in-memory only, so that should give you no I/O problems. -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NA~O mandem email gertrudes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx My SPAMTRAP, do not email it
