[KLUG Members] LVM and squid

[Tony Gettig]

Hey there,

I'm configuring a squid box for a rather large install. I have a
separate 72 GB drive to use for caching and logging. I'm thinking of
using LVM to manage the space on this new drive. Start out with a
smaller a cache and grow it if I need to. Same thing with logs. Is there
any reason not to use LVM for this? Or am I better off just creating big
partitions to start with? This box will service a lot of users (>3,000
surfing clients), so performance is definitely a factor. Thanks in
advance for any pointers.
