Actually single-drives is preferred over RAID-0. Easier to manage in case of drive failure. Or if you have very many drives and need hands-off fault tolerance such as in a remote office then use RAID-1. RAID-1 is in any case recommended for the OS partitions for fault tolerance reasons. Loss of the OS is kindof tricky to recover fast from, but loss of a cache drive is simply loss of the volatile data on that drive. It should also be noted that Squid currently (and probably not for a forseeable future) have any real benefits of more than one CPU. > > /boot 100MB reiser I would use ext2 for /boot. Mostly because there is many more boot loaders who understands ext2 in case of emergency boot needs. Also journaling does not really help /boot, only complicates matters. > I was lazy and used the precompiled bins on a redhat 9 box that was already > configured for development.

The other important features which is not in the RH9 provided binary is * Support for more than 1024 concurrent filedescriptors. * Many bugfixes <http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/> Regards Henrik
