Re: [squid-users] Large squid cache configuration

Ken,

If you talk about aufs, this is what it's called in Squid storage scheme..
you can use ufs, diskd and aufs. You are on right way I will suggest better
to you aufs. If you want to compile squid with aufs support use minimum 120
child process. run ./configure --help|grep aufs
1 >for increasing file descriptor size use file /proc/sys/fs/file-max
2> before running configure script use ulimie -HSn 4096 etcc and blah balhb
alh

Hi Masood,
I have looked through all 25 sections on the FAQ.  The only reference I
found to aufs was in the Troubleshooting section (relating to core dumps).
Which FAQ are you talking about?
I will be compiling on Linux (Redhat 7.3).
TIA.
Cheers,
Ken.

Ken,
If you talk about aufs setup simple is that study FAQ....
now move to more than 1024 file descriptors for this you will have to tell
us which OS and Kernel version you are using... then we can help you..

Subject: [squid-users] Large squid cache configuration
A long time ago I found a website that went through the process of setting
up squid in a high usage environment with many concurrent users, large disk
cache, etc.  I've been trying to find the webpage again but to no avail.
Does it still exist?
I used the information from the website to setup a squid proxy.  I now want
to revisit the config decisions I made and compile 2.5STABLE3 on the same
machine.
Previously I used p-threads, aufs, and aio-threads=24.  I have no idea now
how I chose those settings (obviously I am good at keeping documentation
;-).
Also need to recap on how to compile with more than 1024 file descriptors (I
think it is a ulimit thing).
Regards,
Ken.
PS. I tried going through the mailing list archive - but without a full text
search it just takes too long trying to guess subjects.
