Hello Ow, I haven't tested calamaris, but it seems unsuitable for me, because my access logs (with log_mime_hdrs on) grow to 3 GB during 5 hours, so I Wow. That certainly is a lot, but since you have log_mime_headers. That sort of explains it. Can I ask why do you need it? isn't it for problem

People should be more specific than just dont use raid!. Modern hardware raid-boxes with GB's of cache are blazingly fast even on RAID-5. Ofcourse you shouldn't spend such money for cache which you can lose without problems, but if you have some free space on some raid-box why not use

We're using one FBSD 5.2.1 box with squid for our entire district ( 7 schools), roughly 1300 computers. I moved from our FBSD 4.10 baseline to 5.2.1 due to the thread problems, and it's worked great under 5.2.1. It's been inserted as a transparent gw by enabling forwarding for all lan segments,
