Description Philip Rowlands 2002-09-29 19:21:26 UTC 
Please consider compiling in "null" storage module support. This is done by 
passing --enable-storeio="aufs,coss,diskd,null,ufs" to configure.

null allows the user to configure no disk caching at all, which is useful when 
squid's other features (proxying, logging) but not caching are required in a 
DMZ environment.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2003-01-15 20:57:07 UTC 
should be done in 2.5.STABLE1-1.
Comment 2 Philip Rowlands 2003-01-24 23:13:05 UTC 
Sorry, I can't see the fix. From squid-2.5.STABLE1-1.src.rpm, dated Jan 16 2003, squid.spec still uses --enable-storeio="aufs,coss,diskd,ufs".
Comment 3 Jay Fenlason 2003-01-29 16:12:02 UTC 
I put up squid-2.5.STABLE1-3.i386.rpm and squid-2.5.STABLE1-3.src.rpm on
ftp://people.redhat.com/fenlason/  The binary was built on 8.0 because I don't
have any 7.3 systems to hand.  It has two changes: one is the null storage
module, another is a tweak to the number of maximum file descriptors it can
open.  If you can check it out, I'll see if I can slip it into the next beta. 
It may be too late, though.
