Hello, I have squid server running on Linux Debian Etch. Squid Version 2.6.STABLE5 is using LDAP group authentication based on Win2003 domain controller. The hardware configuration is: IBM xSeries 336 with one XEON 3.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 2xHDD SCSI 146GB 15K with RAID 1 The problem is that the squid restarts after memory leak. I tried to find the reason, and I found that the reason is to big memory consumption by squid parent proces which is almost the same as child memory usage which is the main cache proces. Below is the top informations about memory usage: top - 22:41:04 up 1 day, 3:55, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Tasks: 112 total, 1 running, 111 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.2%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3502208k total, 3360836k used, 141372k free, 118448k buffers Swap: 2650684k total, 0k used, 2650684k free, 165420k cached %MEM PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU TIME+ COMMAND 42.9 4181 proxy 15 0 1469m 1.4g 1512 S 0 0:11.81 squid 42.5 4175 root 25 0 1456m 1.4g 404 S 0 0:00.10 squid This are the main squid.conf entries: http_port 8080 icp_port 0 auth_param basic children 50 auth_param basic credentialsttl 1 minute no_cache deny QUERY cache_mem 48 MB maximum_object_size 900000 KB minimum_object_size 0 KB request_body_max_size 900000 KB cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 8192 128 256 cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA cache_store_log none access_log /var/log/squid/access.log forwarded_for off delay_pools 1 delay_class 1 1 delay_access 1 allow all delay_parameters 1 74000/74000 Is this memory usage by parent proces right ? How can I change it ?
