Hi, I was wondering if you guys should shed some light on the memory usage of my Squid setup. When I use the cache manager it is showing the following stats; StoreEntry 48 5515048 258518 258520 0.01 66 5515048 258518 258520 100 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 6783158 MD5 digest 16 5515048 86173 86174 0.01 22 5515048 86173 86174 100 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 6997908 Total - 11145625 389048 391347 2.17 100 11145625 389048 391347 100 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 201907433 When doing a top on the unit Squid is using 600mb+. It reaches 1500mb usage in 4-5days and then dies. 58430 nobody 2 0 662M 647M poll 1 56:24 4.98% 4.98% squid Here is the memory settings from my squid.conf # Memory Related # cache_mem 32 MB maximum_object_size 32768 KB maximum_object_size_in_memory 128 KB minimum_object_size 0 KB cache_swap_low 90 cache_swap_high 96 ipcache_size 10240 ipcache_low 90 ipcache_high 95 memory_pools off cache_replacement_policy heap GDSF memory_replacement_policy lru quick_abort_min 10 kb quick_abort_pct 50% quick_abort_max 1024 kb range_offset_limit 0 KB # Disk Information # cache_dir ufs /mnt/cache 12000 16 256 cache_dir ufs /mnt/cache2 22000 16 256 store_dir_select_algorithm least-load Store Directory Statistics: Store Entries : 5515249 Maximum Swap Size : 34816000 KB Current Store Swap Size: 31334364 KB Current Capacity : 90% used, 10% free The timeout settings are all low, there are no custom refresh patterns, and I am using squidGuard as a helper with 40 children. The unit is doing about 30RPS which the hardware is definitely able to handle more than double this. The cache drives are full and the cache has been in place for a few years now. We are running Squid 2.6 stable 18. If the cache drives are full, when squid starts is that not the memory it should use and hover around that mark? I understand that it will change but it grows rapidly and then dies. Please let me know if there is anything more I can give you to help with this. Thanks in advance, Darryl
