You're correct. There is no support for ReiserFS on FreeBSD. > In any case, if you are using BSD, make sure that your cache dir is using > diskd vs ufs or aufs.

I'd rather replace the single IDE disk the original poster mentioned against one or more SCSI disks than the OS itself. (But I am biased since I'm the current maintainer of squid's FreeBSD port).
