Hi,
I understand that the size of the physical RAM has to be proportional to the total harddisk cache size. Supposing I have
unlimited physical RAM,
1) What is the recommended size of 1 physical harddisk for each server (each server can have sda, sdb etc...). The reason I
am asking this is that I am concern that the bigger a disk is, the longer squid needs to get an object out of it.
I am currently using a U320 SCSI disk of 10KRPM, size 73GB. It is being partitioned into 4 smaller partition of 17GB each.
Performace is within expectation, but I am wondering if reparttioning it into smaller sizes would give better yield. On the
other hand, the disk has a fixed number of head, so would it even help?
2) In term of performance only, is a 100GB harddisk better (partitioned into 5 20GB partitioned) or 5 20GB harddisks better.
Thanks Liz
