Subject: Re: [plug] squid cache
 

setting the cache_dir to something small doesnt solve the
problem,
       

huh???? it will not solve the disk full problem???

     

yes
   

saying yes without backup support is useless...

 

err... a simple answer to a simple question.

 

i forgot the exact message but it would something about the cache_dir
size being over 100% or something about the disk being full/not enough
disk space and squid dying
   

simply because you got a misconfigured squid...
 

and you know that for a fact? ...

 

ive never encountered or heard of problems on UFS concerning
   

fragmentation.

there are no known fragmentation problem on UFS on the application layer
but what im saying here is that setting half of the entire disk space will
improve the fragmentation problem *algorithm* done on the kernel layer
especially on the filesystem module...
 

then let the *algorithm* do its job of keeping the fs in check. isnt 
that what its for? so applications dont need to worry about low level 
stuff and have to make provisions for what has already been provided 
for. last i checked squid was still a user space application.

 

and by 'ineffective' i meant a cache that doesnt do much to help
conserve bandwidth because popular objects are evicted even before they
get a HIT.
   

are we talking here about disk full problem or conserving bandwidth?
conserving bandwidth is another topic...
it is a direct effect of having small cache_dir 's

GDFS, LFUDA or LRU replacement policy.... squid always stayed within its
limits...
     

in my personal humble experience, that was not the case.
   

in my experienced too ... i never see like that.... what im suspecting with
your case is that you got a misconfigured squid...
 

if you set it the way you do then misconfiguration is a point of view :)

i suggested a way that has proven to work for me and my colleagues (hi 
fafa ronald!) on many times and on many servers if your way works then 
good for you, but dont be all _BIG_ and come in with your "no no no 
thats wrong this is how to do it" crap. its just not polite and you make 
an ass out of your self :)
