Yep, no problem. We're using ext3 on redhat since that's what's supported.
Always good to hear/learn from others' experience.
We've seen some issues with processes spending a litte too much time in "D"
state (as reported by ps) a.k.a. uninteruptible sleep. Not clear what is
causing that yet. Seems like a deadlock somewhere. Not in squid. We saw it in
apache and others.
