Hi All, Squid memory usage grows beyond allocate cache_mem size of 8 GB. Total physical memory available on machine is 20 GB. Does that mean there is memory leak and I should replace malloc library and compile squid ?
cache_mem is the size of the in-memory object cache squid uses for very popular objects.
Squid itself uses memory for many other things which make the total larger. Amos
I am using squid2.6 without using disk for caching.
