Hello I'm using squid in a 200 user environment, processing approximately 50GB of traffic per day.
Setup: ESXi host, VM with 2 vCPUs assigned, 2gb ram, 40GB hdd space (stored on a SANS, speed shouldn’t be an issue) I was wondering what the general opinion was for cache-related settings were in this sort of environment. Config relevant to caching: Cache_mem 300 MB Cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 51200 64 255 A couple of thoughts I had: I already know that 51200 is over the total size of the hd assigned ,I need to either lower that value (would performance be hindered by lowering it?) or get a second drive attached and use that. So here come a few questions: For the traffic and setup I have, is lowering this, to say, 25000 64 255 safe to do? Would there be any benefit to having it on a separate drive? Does bigger cache equal better performance in the long run?
