Being a cachemaster (well formerly at least). I had 30GB of disk space on U160 SCSI 5 Channel Raid controller using RAID 5 and LVM. I used ext3 with no ATIME being updated. @30GB of cache, it needs ~ 1GB for the hot-indexing of the cache. I also devoted 1GB of Memory for Hot-Serving of cache items. My maximum object size was 120MB or just about the size of most Large patch sets from Microsoft, Novell, IBM, etc... This particular cache served ~2200 users concurrently... had an average cache hit rate of 40%... which meant ~ 40% saving in bandwidth requirements. So at the 10Mbit/sec pipe we had... it "felt like" ~ 14Mbit/sec. This cached HTTP and FTP. It helped out tremendously. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Flies dance operas to your wisdom. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
