SQUID CACHE Managment
-
Hello there, I have a HP DC7800, 4GB RAM, 160 GB of hard disk running PFsense 2.0 with multiwan and squid cache poxy, I am not sure of the cache memory values I should set mainly:
- Hard disk cache size.
- Hard disk cache system
- Memory cache size
- maximun object size
- Maximun object size in RAM
- Memory replacement policy
- Cache replacement policy
There are some many point of views that really confuse me, any help on this will be really appreciated, does anyone have a setup similar to this that could help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have got same amount 0f RAM: 4GB and just 74GB HDD:
I am using this:
-
Hard disk cache size.
30720 -
Hard disk cache system
ufs
(increased vfs.read_max in System Tunables to 128 -> better performance) -
Memory cache size
1024 -
maximun object size
1048576 (want to cache large files up to 1GB - windows updates) -
Maximun object size in RAM
256 -
Memory replacement policy
Heap GDSF -
Cache replacement policy
Heap LFUDA -
Minimum object size
128
(I do not want to have small files on HDD, only in RAM because the time I will lose that squid is searching a small file on disk is higher than the time to download this file instead of searching)
