I need to choise the storage type for a squid proxy server with 100Mb/s traffic. RAID0, LVM or JBOD Which is better for performance (don't care the data reliability) ? This storage is only for the squid cache (not system disk). I have 3 disk for the array. I'm using centos 5. Thanks for

Hi Roberto, Each of the systems you mention will only add an extra layer to the storage solution. Squid (not sure from which version but I am very sure it's main stream on all distros) already has support for multiple cache directories so my suggestion (if you don't need LVM to extend or

Given those cache sizes, your Squid box should be using around 110 MB of RAM for index plus a little. Even assuming a worst-case of a minutes traffic accumulated in transit buffers comes nowhere close to filling 16 GB up. Some questions that may help narrow down where the slow is coming

The fact that it runs fine initially then performance begins to degrade after a number of hours, I would start looking io statistics when the disk cache is full. aufs or diskd provide better performance so I would suggest using one of these methods for your cache_dir and see if you get an increase
