probably 'noload' would make ext3 comparable to ext2. However it removes the
main benefit of ext3 over ext2: journalling.

'data=writeback' would help too, but can cause invalid data appear on the
FS.

'commit=' seems the best option for me, but doesn't help that much.
the nubmer is interval of commiting data to disk, default is 5, I use 30.

Of course, for example there are people that do not know the 'notail' option
for reisersfs ;)

I just want to say that some people prefer ext3 over reiserfs. basically,
used options were well-tuned for squid cache directory.

Sounds reasonable. ext2 is a farily light filesystem unless you need 
syncronous operations (which Squid doesn't use) or very large directories 
(which Squid also doesn't use)


However, smarter filesystems may be able to acheive a better write speed 
for the amount of small files used by Squid.

As far as I remember there was a benchmarking test which was done by Duane.
According to this report, ext2 with async (aufs) is one the best choice.

I think they are just OK. What is probably most inportand is "noatime" and
for reiserfs "notail" and "noborder"

hi Matus

thanks for your reply, as far as I heard and read

reiserfs kinda good fs for squid cache (skipping details). However I will keep 
your point in ma mind for future reference.

Thanks and regards
