I would assume it does not, but I don't think that was
specifically discussed.

However, one item that has come up repeatedly it to NOT
use RAID5 with Squid, because Squid's use of disk (many,
many small writes) causes big performance issues on RAID5.

I would imaging, though, that RAID0 (striping) would perform
quite well, but I think that from Squid's perspective it would
still count as a single cache disk.

Be sure to let us know the results.
