hello,
This is really late, I didn't notice these messages, but in the interest of completeness...
My previous kernel was set with
MAXDSIZ="(1843*1024*1024)", Squid sat at around 1700MB of memory utilization and I never had any stability issues.
The following settings work for me (on a 4.10-STABLE machine with 4Gb RAM):
options MAXDSIZ="(2816*1024*1024)" options MAXSSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" options DFLDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" options NSWAPDEV=1
And a lot of crap stripped out: NICs, ATA and SCSI drivers I don't use, USB stuff, and so forth. I didn't tweak the NMBUFS or NMBCLUSTERS settings.
Currently my squid process looks like :
nobody 29322 1.1 67.0 2608092 2609328 ?? S 22Feb05 82:02.94 squid -NsY
I'm toying with reformatting the machine this summer and installing 5.3, but there's no hurry. This is certainly good enough for me. I'm getting consistent 22-25% byte hit and 50-60% request hit ratios.
Later, David
