Hi There I normally use this calculation for optimum performance :
x=Size of cache dir in KB (i.e. 6GB=~6,000,000KB) y=Average object size (just use 13KB z=Number of directories per first level directory (((x / y) / 256) / 256) * 2 = # of directories As an example, I use 6GB of each of my 13GB drives, so: 6,000,000 / 13 = 461538.5 / 256 = 1802.9 / 256 = 7 * 2 = 14 So my cache_dir line would look like this: cache_dir 6000 14 256 Regards Gert Brits Senior Engineer Technology Concepts Tel +27 11 803 2169 Fax +27 11 803 2189 http://www.techconcepts.co.za -----Original Message----- From: Kiraly Zoltan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 8:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [squid-users] Hardware for Squid Anyone have an opionion, squid how much memory eat for 80 GB HDD that used for cache ?
