Hi,lists,
A squid developer answered similar question.

The OS determines where/what the SHM path descriptor has to be. We like
to follow the FHS specification since these are special networking
*socket* descriptors not "files". That may or may not permit your
--prefix to apply on the path, but we do not allow localization.

I didn't know much about IPC. In the past years I run some squid box in SMP
mode with freebsd and linux, and I noticed that squid block the IO in the peak
time every day, iostat displays IOPS cannot exceed 250/s, even though in
some test I can get 1000/s when I run "tar xf ports.tgz" without any other
load.
Yesterday I ran squid with aufs store in single process mode on dflyBSD, and
observed the IOPS can touch 500/s sometimes. It's so amazing, so I want give
more test with squid in SMP mode.
