Hello... i use Squid 3.0.25 and i have a problem: i can't increase file descriptors. I have been installed with 'ulimit -HSn 8192' but it's starting with 1024 fd. The 'max_filedesc' is not recongnized on squid.conf ... in /etc/init.d/squid i have been put the line 'ulimit -HSn 8192' ...but it's starting with 8192 fd. I tried to use Squid 3.1.4 but performances are slow comparatively with Squid 3.0.25 OS: Mandriva 2010.0 x86_x64 Squid : Version 3.0.STABLE25 configure options: '--enable-cache-digests' '--disable-icmp' '--disable-delay-pools' '--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs' '--enable-async-io' '--enable-poll' '--disable-ident-lookups' '--prefix=/squid' '--enable-removal-policies=heap,lru' '--with-filedescriptors=8192' '--disable-snmp' '--enable-linux-netfilter' '--disable-internal-dns' Please help.... Thanks!
