Re: [squid-users] increase child process

Huh? All Linux variants support the aufs storeio module, if Squid is
built with the option enabled.

Or, are you asking if the Red Hat standard RPM supports aufs? I don't
know, off hand. You could use the Red Hat-style RPMs on our site,
instead (linked from the Binaries link on the Squid page). They are
compiled with support for aufs, and are drop-in replacements for the Red
Hat standard RPM.

BTW-Squid questions should go to the Squid-users list, not to me
personally. My clients can write to me personally and expect a prompt
and accurate reply--everyone else should write to the Squid mailing
list, where I'm quite likely to answer if I feel I'm the best person to
answer the question and I have time to do so. This isn't because I
don't want to help you personally, rather because all questions take
time, and it maximizes my time to answer questions in a forum where
others can benefit.
