Back in 2009 I was still using 2.7.x: I switched from 2.7.x to 3.1.0.14 yesterday. Today, my proxy would encounter an out of memory condition. cache_mem was EXPLICITLY set to 128 MB, thus the new default of 256 MB would not be relevant. Attached is a picture of squidstats that show the memory consumption before and after the switch. Note the peak on the right edge of the graph. In the end squid was using 1.4GB of RAM. And a retry in 2010: I switched from 3.0.x to 3.1.0.x yesterday. Find some output from % squidclient mgr:mem for 3.0 here http://www.arschkrebs.de/bugs/mgr-mem.3.0.txt.gz and from % squidclient mgr:mem for 3.1 here http://www.arschkrebs.de/bugs/mgr-mem.3.1.txt.gz What I did: 3.0 was running for a whole day, I then used squidclient mgr:mem Then I replaced 3.0 with 3.1 and restarted. I then let it run for about 15 minutes and issued squidclient mgr:mem several times Can anybody see where the excessive memory usage comes from? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt@xxxxxxxxxx | http://www.charite.de
