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
50gb cache is handled by squid just fine.
I'm not an expert, but I'm using 16 256 for a 40gb cache and I don't see
any issues. IME before changing values without a deep understanding of
the technicalities involved, it's safer to stick with the defaults.
Also, you don't specify the amount of RAM of the server nor the value of
cache_mem parameter.
