Hi,
I am still runnig Redhat 9 box with sendmail and
squid.
how
is squid configured? it can be configured to eat up quite a bit of RAM. if you
tweak that to fit into your 512MB of RAM you may be able to get your machine
running faster. have a look at what 'top' is saying, maybe iostat as well.
someone else mentioned 'atop', it looks pretty slick if you can, give that a
shot. by running 'top' you will also be able to see how much RAM Linux is
seeing. make sure that it actually is 512MB.
It is quite slow. It has only
128 MB RAM. So I upgraded it to 512 MB RAM. Now, It is running with 512 MB
RAM. But, It is still slow. No progress has been achived. Some users say it is
slower than before. Actually, I also have noticed it is NOW SLOWER than
before. WHY IS THAT?
if
squid is configured to eat up a large amount of RAM, then it may be possible
that it needs contiguous memory blocks, so it may be possible that it is
eating all of your physical memory, and all of the rest of your apps are using
virtual memory (read: swap space). I have seen something similar on an Oracle
box. again, reading the output of 'top' will help you.
