It fills both, but if one if very much larget than the other then usage will be biased towards the larger one unless the store_dir_select_algorithm is changed to round-robin. > Would there really but a noticable difference? Depends on what speeds you require. Squids use of the cache drives requires a lot of seeks. Two drives can seek twice as much as a single drive. Note: to make use of the seek times of more than one drive you need to use one of the async cache_dir types (aufs or diskd). Regards Henrik
