RE: [SQU] Assistance on cache sie etc..

Sorry to bother you.. Can you explain (briefly) why striped RAID is so bad?
Are you talking about Hw or Sw RAID?

Just read your squid performance pages by the way, most informative. Many
Thanks.

Thanks,

Toby.

        If you're running Linux, check here:

        And don't use RAID. At all. Ever. Squid is the worst possible
        workload for a RAID device. One could not invent a worse workload
for a
        striped RAID.
