hi ,
i have a question
i have a server with 48 G of rams ,
in squid.conf file ive served mem for squid to be only 1 G
but my question is why is my total memory is get full after sometime ??
result is below from my server :
====================================================
root@drvirus:~# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 48296 47853 442 0 1893 38302
-/+ buffers/cache: 7658 40638
Swap: 0 0 0
root@drvirus:~# cat /etc/squid3/squid.conf | grep cache_mem
cache_mem 1000 MB
==========================================================
as we see , the free memory is just 442 M and ive just configured memory 1 g
for squid , and also i only use my system for squid , so i dont tink that
other processess other than squid is eating my memory !!
Please pay your attention that most of memory consumed is cache, i.e.
the one is not really used at the moment and could be freed at any
moment without harm to the system. Please see

wish to clarify
regards
Please note, that 'cache_mem' configuration directive just limits amount
of memory used by cache itself, i.e. stored in cache documents. But
squid in whole consumes more RAM, of course.
