Re: [squid-users] Squid very slow

okay...

i'd recommend to turn off the 'logging' option in /etc/vfstab for
         /www-cachedir first.
then, configure squid to use 'aufs' in cache_dir type.

the poor performance you are expierencing can also be a result of
         improperly
configured network interfaces. make sure you have set 100mbit full duplex
         for
hme0 (i suppose you _are_ using 100mbit full-duplex).

'ndd -get /dev/hme adv_100_fdx_cap' should return 1
'ndd -get /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap' should return 0

if autonegotiation is enabled and transceiver adv_10_hdx_cap returns 1, you
should set the parameters using
'ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0' and
'ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100_fdx_cap 1'.

you can make the changes permanent by adding 2 lines to the /etc/system
         file:

set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1

hope this helps.

cheers

Thanks for your reply...

you really should spread your cache_dirs over different drives.

Yes I think we'll do it..

which sun machine are you using?

Ultra-60
which version of solaris do you use?

Solaris 8
which cache_dir type do you use (asyncufs, ufs)?

ufs
are there any special mount options for your cache filesystems in
/etc/vfstab?

/dev/md/dsk/d60 /dev/md/rdsk/d60 /www-cachedir   ufs   -    yes
logging,noatime
Do you see something special ?

Thanks
