Hi Dear, Am using linux 8.0 with kernel 2.4.19
* You need several cache drives and use aufs/diskd (which to use depends on your OS). Squid puts a quite high load on harddrive seek times---------->>which is better aufs/diskd for redhat linux. * You need to tune your system for many filedescriptors. 200-300 hits/s you will certainly run into the default limit of 1024 filedescriptors/process after a while. Depending on your OS type you also may need to tune the max number of sockets open, network I/O buffers etc.---------->>how many sockets to open. and whihc will be the best cahce_replacement policy or should i use the default LRU---->>kindly recoment. what should be the cache_mem size --->>i have 512Mb RAM. i would be highly greatfull if you could help me out with these questions.
