Hi list, I have a squid+squidguard server. When I make some changes on my "custom" blacklist I run these commands: /usr/bin/squidGuard -c /etc/squid3/squidGuard.conf.local -C all /bin/chown -R proxy:proxy /var/lib/squidguard/db /usr/sbin/squid3 -k reconfigure To apply the changes. My problem is that load average gets very high during a long time. The faulty command is the last one: /usr/sbin/squid3 -k reconfigure Here is the timeline: I run "/usr/sbin/squid3 -k reconfigure" After 50secs load average is 5 After 1m23 load average is 9.5 After 2m00 load average is 12 After 2m55 load average is 14 After 3m40 14.90 (peak) It starts to get down 4m30sec later After 4m55 load average is 12.2 After 5m35 load average is 10.45 After 5m45 load average is 8.85 After 6m00 load average is 6.89 After 6m30 load average is 4.17 After 7m00 load average is 2.53 After 7m30 load average is 1.53 After 8m00 load average is 0.93 It takes 8 minutes before the load average gets back to 0. During this time, CPU is not always 100%. Most of the time it's 0-10% with some peak. I can't browse during these 8 minutes. Can someone help me ?
What squid version? Under what normal connection load? with what configuration? Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE6 or 3.0.STABLE15 Current Beta Squid 3.1.0.7
