with the below configuration of my fstab using a reiserfs FS do you think it
is ok
/dev/sdc1 /cache1 reiserfs notail,noatime
0 0
or I just stay with the default fstab which is:
/dev/sdc1 /cache1 reiserfs defaults 1 2
Thanks again,

generic option noaccess to disable updating access times, and reiserfs
option notail and probably noborder.
In your experience which is the best file system for squid?
I use FreeBSD, therefore I'm kinda limited to its ufs (with softupdates)

RE: tune up

If you're referring to my postings about a month ago, I've been doing some
further tests after getting some pointers from different people, and the
results are different.
We have a number of sets of proxies in different locations, each set being
load-balanced using wccp and layer 3 switch. My results were different when
comapring caches with lower loads (Avg 39 req/sec, peak 70 req/sec) than
when I was comparing caches with higher loads (170 req/sec avg, peak
I was using the aufs cache_dir type, as I have found this to be
significantly faster than diskd when running on linux. The different
paramaters that I was comparing were the load average (with aufs, as disk
i/o increases, there will be more threads waiting on disk i/o, which will
push the load average up), the disk utilisation (% time each disk had active
operations) and cpu utilisation.
I found that under low loads, ext3 mounted with data=writeback (the same
level of data protection as other journalled filesystems) gave the best
numbers (ie lower CPU, lower disk utilisation and lower load average.
I found that on our more loaded systems, reiserfs had lower disk utilisation
and a lower load average, at a slight cost of CPU time.
So, if the disk i/o is going to be a bottleneck (as it is in our case),
reiserfs is probably a better choice. If CPU is the main bottleneck, then
ext2/3 may be the best choice.
It also looks like reiserfs may use more resources under low load, but
scales better at the higher loads. This confirms the results of previous
benchmarks that show reiserfs to provide the highest throughput for a squid
proxy server (using the Web Polygraph program).

Yes. Modify squid.conf and restart your Squid.
cache_dir aufs /cache1/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache2/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache3/spool/squid 25000 16 256

well, use 'notail,noatime' instead of 'defaults', but you probably should
leave the same numbers in 5th asnd 6th fields of fstab

Since im using diskd and im going to change it to aufs do i need to
recompile the squid? if so is there other way of enabling aufs without
recompliling? also can I change my configuration from diskd to aufs
directly?

I'm affraid you have to recompile squid if you didnt enable aufs |
eariler, you can check squid compilation option with "squid -v" , see if
there "--enable-storeio=aufs,coss,diskd,ufs"
Again if you don't see aufs support then don't hestitate to recompile squid.

Ok if im going to recompile it again, i just start squid and it should be
working again right?
second if i recompile it --enable-storeio="aufs" do I need to
enable --with-aufs-threads=1024 and is a 1024 value is ok?
during recompilation, can I let squid running? aftrer I recompile it I sould
only issue a command squid -z and suid start am I right?
what is the posiblity that my squid will not start?
Thanks,

yep let squid serving clients, don't issue squid -z command no need to
do so. Before giving "make install" command for safty cp your squid.conf
file to another location if you want to reuse the same squid.conf and
then issue "make install" and place the squid.conf in
/usr/local/squid/etc, and change the cache_dir line only replace diskd
with aufs.
then shutdown the squid and restart it.

hi wennie,
I thinks you dont need to do anything fancy for aufs,
as i read in http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/squid/chapter/ch08.pdf
according to the author squid will autmatically starts thread depends on
number of cache_dir.
Table 8-1. Default number of threads for up to six cache directories
cache_dirs Threads
1 16
2 26
3 32
However for my 2 cache_dir I have ...
$ps -ef | grep squid | wc -l
31
of squid processes.

Ok then if my cache-dir is 3 as:
cache_dir aufs /cache1/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache2/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache3/spool/squid 25000 16 256
so if im going to recompile it it should be
--enable-storeio="aufs" --with-aufs-threads=32
am I correct?
thanks you,

cache_dir aufs /cache1/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache2/spool/squid 25000 16 256
cache_dir aufs /cache3/spool/squid 25000 16 256
so if im going to recompile it it should be --enable-storeio="aufs"
--with-aufs-threads=32
am I correct?
dude you don't have to specify "--with-aufs-threads=32", squid will take |
care of this

hi wennie,
I thinks you dont need to do anything fancy for
aufs, as i read in http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/squid/chapter/ch08.pdf
according to the author squid will autmatically starts thread depends
on number of cache_dir.
Table 8-1. Default number of threads for up to six cache directories
cache_dirs Threads
1 16
2 26
3 32
However for my 2 cache_dir I have ...
$ps -ef | grep squid | wc -l
31
of squid processes.
regards

Ok if im going to recompile it again, i just start squid and it
should be working again right?
yes
second if i recompile it --enable-storeio="aufs" do I need to
enable --with-aufs-threads=1024 and is a 1024 value is ok?
I don't have defined -with-aufs-threads=1024 options while
compiling squid and its working just cool
during recompilation, can I let squid running? aftrer I recompile
it I sould only issue a command squid -z and suid start am I right?
yep let squid serving clients, don't issue squid -z command no need
to do so. Before giving "make install" command for safty cp your
squid.conf file to another location if you want to reuse the same
squid.conf and then issue "make install" and place the squid.conf
in /usr/local/squid/etc, and change the cache_dir line only replace
diskd with aufs.
then shutdown the squid and restart it.
what is the posiblity that my squid will not start?
I'm sure it will start with no problem ;)
Thanks,
Wennie
I'm affraid you have to recompile squid if you didnt enable aufs
eariler, you can check squid compilation option with "squid -v" ,
see if there "--enable-storeio=aufs,coss,diskd,ufs"
Again if you don't see aufs support then don't hestitate to
recompile squid.

On high-volume sites significant performance improvements can be attained by setting up a reverse proxy in front of the actual Midgard, Squid is a popular choice. |
