Stripes need be be larger than the average object size to have concurrent access to more than one object at the same time. The *average* objects size is 13 KB so to be on the safe side I would use a stripe size of 32K or more. The optimal size also depends on the file system type that you use. Marcus John Doe wrote:
Hi, I was just wondering if squid has a prefered RAID stripe size; as in the smaller/bigger the better... I did not find it in the squid RAID wiki... If I understand it correctly, the smaller the RAID stripe, the more disks involved in a file read/write (file is spread on more disks). I see the pros (more disks, more bandwidth) and the cons (too many concurrent seeks). So, from experience, in a reverse proxy setup, which one is the best option? Thx, JD
