Hello all I have a few squid servers that seem to have gotten a bit out of control. They are using up all the systems memory and starting to serve items slowly. As near as I can tell, it seems to just want more memory than I have to serve and manage all the objects in the cache. Internal Data Structures: 20466526 StoreEntries 24888 StoreEntries with MemObjects 24870 Hot Object Cache Items 20466434 on-disk objects I have tried reducing my refresh pattern from: refresh_pattern -i \.jpg 10080 150% 40320 ignore-reload to: refresh_pattern -i \.jpg 5040 100% 4320 ignore-reload and doing a reload. However, I have not noticed it expiring out old objects and freeing up disk space like I thought it would. Do objects get stored based on their original refresh pattern? So even if I change it, they won't expire until they expire based on the pattern they were stored with? Is there any way to tell the age of the objects eating up my cache storage space? Any reccomendations on how to reduce my object count besides reducing disk space? This is for a reverse proxy cache and we have the cache header set to expire objects in 2 weeks. I really can't believe that I have 20Million 2 week old objects. Thanks!
