I want to store all my cache dir on a ram disk. I have this in my config: cache_dir ufs /dev/shm/squid 1024 16 256 Is there any reason NOT to do this? All the stuff in my cache is time sensitive (expires after 15 minutes) so I'm not worried about losing data, just worried about best practices. I also have: cache_mem 1024 MB in my config. With ONLY this entry, everything results in a TCP_MISS. I'm guessing the cache_mem isn't used the same way as a cache_dir? -- Scott Baker - Canby Telcom System Administrator - RHCE - 503.266.8253
