Could, nothing certain? what is your cache_mem setting? > It was not using swap. sure not, if you have 1GB of ram and there are 512Mb left then squid will crash soon the 512 you allow are used, so no chance to get to swap either set your maxdsize to 1 or 2 gigs and assist the magic happen > > Currently, ipcs tells me: > no good, ipcs -a at least > Most of them are Dell SC-420 machines: > CPU 2.80GHz (2793.09-MHz K8-class CPU) > Hyperthreading: 2 logical CPUs > OS: FreeBSD-6.0-6.1 (amd64). > 6.2 is way better and releng_6 is really stable you could upgrade which should be possible with no downtime beside one reboot >> >> > By the way, do you have some optimal settings which can be applied to >> > diskd?

Also what the best > value for SHMMAXPGS? yes sysctl, they are runtime tunable you must check out with ipcs and set your system to what works well without using too high values other values I saw are eventually not so good choices, as somaxconn seems way to high and nbmclusters are 0 ? may be you trust the fbsd auto-tuning and compile your kernel with max_user 0 and restart without sysctl values but maxdsiz to 1 gb or so and see what happens.
