Cache_dir size considerations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear All,
 
Relevant info:
 
On IBM Server 3650 x series with physical RAID 1 .
Disk space comprises of 70 Gb 
Intended is caching of windows update.
intended is caching of youtube contents.
Single is dedicated to running squid on Ubuntu 8.04
 
Current Settings : cache_dir aufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 50000 16 256
However i beleived that it should be changed to something like this: cache_dir aufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 50gb 48 768
 
or
 
cache_dir aufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 20000 32 512..... etc etc.
 
so that not more file lies in L2.
 
The confusion is that isnt it correct to allocating this large 50gb hard-disk space to caching? Does such large cache will result in some issues? Does this large size has to do with some latency issue etc?
 
 
I am looking forward for your guidance.
 
regards@all
