Hi! I have changed the disk replacement policy to LFUDA
I will also give a try to Async-UFS and COSS. But I cannot do it on week days due to traffic issues with costumers. ( I need to compile a new SQUID, and I will use the opportunity to upgrade squid and samba to the latest stable release, in one shot! =) On the other side, after seeing my config, do you agree with the parameters i have used? any comments on memory, disk space? file system used(REISER btw.)?
