Re: [squid-users] Setting up squid for Satellite.

Here is the new config for my squid.

CFLAGS="-DNUMTHREADS=30"
./configure --enable-carp --enable-storeio=diskd --enable-removal-policies=l
ru,heap --enable-delay-pools --enable-snmp --enable-cachemgr-hostname=cacbds
cachesrvr.cariaccess.com --enable-arp-acl --enable-htpc --enable-cache-diges
ts

Do I need CFLAGS="-DNUMTHREADS=40" with diskd?

Isn't that releated to asysnc-io?

Thank you very much.
