Hello dear List.
I am looking at how to best setup the storage for a test squid Server.
The server hardware looks as follows:
P4 1800Ghz with 512 MB RAM
4 IDE Harddisks with 39Gig. They are connected to an IDE RAID controller.
Right now there are two logical devices
/dev/sda which is a RAID5 and has 17 Gig (it holds all the system relevant data)
/dev/sdb which is a RAID3 and has 100 Gig.
I split /dev/sdb into paritions of 10 Gigabyte and right now 8 are reiserfs and 2 are JFS.
I am in a testing environment, so it should be easy to alter those values, Raid seems to be a prerequisite and is the only thing I cannot alter. I picked RAID for the throughput reason, yet if you have some other recommendation for me, I would be more than happy to oblige.
Right now I am, as you can see, testing reiserfs and jfs, is there any better recommendation for a file system which squid uses as its storage? We are looking at about 250 very special users here and a so called autonomy fetch which will use the Server. The autonomy fetch can easily produce up to gigabytes of data on a daily basis.

Ilker G.
