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 tracking only?
Exactly. For expample, one client complained about Squid because she used HTTP/0.9! So I need to be ready to see what has happend when there is an error report.
Yes. I'm running Linux so I have aufs, but the guy asked about FreeBSD for which, I believe, the diskd should be better.2) Any fine tune parameters for better performance rather than using default
values in squid.conf ?
- diskd instead of ufs
This is FreeBSD specific right?
- httpd_accel_with_proxy off (you are intercepting, right?)
Do you see problems running in intercept mode? I've read there are quite a number of drawbacks with this.
You mean disadwantages with running in intercept mode with "httpd_accel_with_proxy off", i.e. without a possibility to use the proxy mode? I cannot see any.
If you are in intercept mode, you don't need the proxy mode. I am just carefull, I don't want others exploiting my Squid which is far away from perfect configuration :-)
Can you somehow measure your Thoughput? Sometimes I am watching the load going over 3, I believe the bottleneck are the disks, but I am not realy sure.And one more remark. People in this list keep saing the reiserfs is the best. I decided to use ext3, anyway.
I use reiserfs on a 30GB cache.
Today I changed 3 X 28 GB cache from ext2fs to ext3fs and I haven't noticed any performance change so far (good :-)
According to the performance benchmark in the Duane Wessels book "Squid the definitive guide", ufs with reiserfs(notail, noatime) has only 61% Throughput of ufs with ext3fs(event without notaime option).
Does anyone have a comment to this?
I have (just bought <1 1/2 week ago) and I've yet to reach that page. But yeah, you're right, based on his test methods:
on Linux 2.4 with 32 threads, ext3fs is fastest.
scheme FS Mount Opt throughput aufs ext3 noatime 168 ufs reiserfs noatime,notail 21.4
Ooops, you are comparing aufs with ufs scheme, that is not fair to reiserfs :-)
Have a nice day, Ow, Marji
