Metrics to calculate 'best' values for cache_mem and cache_dir?

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

 



With the recent (enlightening) posts from Christian, Marcus et al, I was wondering what the metrics actually are for calculating cache_mem and cache_dir? I've read (for Linux at least) aufs is superior to diskd, so I've made the appropriate decision, but any time any reference is made to size of caches or directory depth, figures are mentioned that seem to be obeying formulae, but I've yet to find the actual formulae? Are they any other critical parameters I should be wary of, resource wise?

I've had a look over the Squid wiki, and various other sources, but can't seem to find a definitive answer? Apologies if I'm being daft and missing something that's well known :)

Our current setup is a 32 gig, single CPU (E5620) with 4 15k 300 gig disks available for disk cache (o/s is elsewhere).
