RE: [squid-users] Linux, SGI's XFS Filesystem and SQUID

I too have not had much time to do any testing with Squid and XFS, but if I
do, I will be sure to let everyone know the results.

Incidentally, I see that a relevant link popped up on slashdot regarding
benchmarking of XFS, ReiserFS and ext2.

The link to the spanish page is

 the bable fish does a fairly good job of translating :-)
