Hey thanks for the input This web cache proxy server is a dedicated machine running ubuntu 64bit OS (no gui) with 5gigs of RAM and a 1TB drive dedicated to the cache. Only using 500GB currently. (The OS is on a different 80GB drive) Accordign to the math of 10MB of RAM per 1GB of Disk space that would put me right at 5GB of RAM.
In which case do RAM check and see how much is used free before trying to cache any more.
Yesterday I increased the maximum_object_size value to 32MB from the default of 4MB and haven't noticed any difference in the cache size. I think I'll push it up around 50MB. I tried to change my L1 and L2 values from the default "16 256" but it didn't like the change because the squid service didn't restart until I changed it back. I don't think I tried "256 256", so I'll try that next.
This change requires a full stop of Squid. remove the cache directory and rebuild it with "squid -z", then restart Squid.
I will need to read up on and expirement with refresh_pattern
