RE: [squid-users] Best OS for Squid?

In my experience softupdates brings the performance of ufs up from abysmal
up to close or equal to ext2. ext2 is more brittle than ufs with
soft updates. but you weren't planning on crashing it were you?

I think that real comparisons of filesystem performance/stability should
be made between lfs on freebsd and reiserfs/ext3/jfs on linux, given the
amount of disk and the number of objects that large caches tend to
handle...
