What about ext3/4 or xfs? > Any ideas? My tips: 1. Change cache_dir in squid from ufs to aufs. 2. Format /dev/sdb1 with "mkfs.xfs -f -l lazy-count=1,version=2 -i attr=2 -d agcount=4" 3. Mount it afterwards using "rw,noatime,logbsize=256k,logbufs=2,nobarrier" in fstab. 4. Use cfq as the standard scheduler with the linux kernel (Btw: on my systems, squid-2.7 is noticeably _a lot_ slower than squid-3, if the object is not in cache...)
