I forgot to say that I tried it already. Even if it gave me no improvement
I have it in 16 at this time together with a higher vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem
value.

Sincerley, any of the configuration changes I did gave me absolutely
nothing in relationship to the disk read access performance. That is
disappointing.

Should I go back and try ufs1 perhaps? Or is it that squid does not work
well on 6.2?

I use diskd but in order to check if there is a SHM issue I tried ufs and
aufs, but also no difference at all. On 6.2 I do not even get close to 50%
of 4.11 disk read performance.


thank you
Michel
