I'm surprised 30 users haven't consumed more than 65GB worth of internet in that amount of time :) Keep in mind that Squid will keep stale items in cache (not serving them of course) until it hits its threshold (default 90-something percent cache usage), because Squid doesn't want to waste time purging stale objects until necessary. See cache_swap_high/low parameters for more information on these thresholds. Also see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InnerWorkings#head-3ccaef79f36bf2d7 4c7cdde76eeb163b8c8e691e to learn about Squid's cache replacement algorithm. If you still want to fine-tune, I would recommend putting some profiling in place (see cachemgr or snmp) so you have a 'before' to compare against when making changes. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidProfiling -----Original Message----- From: Wilson Hernandez [mailto:wh@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 12:52 PM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Squid consumes a lot dsk space Hello again. I would like to fine tune squid so, that it won't cache so many things. I noticed that in less than a month a network with about 30 users consumed 65GB of harddrive. I don't think that's normal if it is please correct me.
