Re: [squid-users] RAID stripes sizes...

Stripes need be be larger than the average object size to have
concurrent access to more than one object at the same time.
The *average* objects size is 13 KB so to be on the safe side
I would use a stripe size of 32K or more.

The optimal size also depends on the file system type that you use.
