*MY MAIN GOAL: Cache all Windows Updates* I have a little EeeBox that I want to dedicate MAINLY to Windows Updates Unless someone can give me a reason why I'd ever want to 're-download' or refresh any particular Windows Update that might already be stored in the Cache I plan to dedicate LOTS of space so they don't get written over due to lack of space. I have installed the maximum (4GB of RAM) in this system. The info on this pages is a little unclear: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory <http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory> http://www.deckle.co.uk/squid-users-guide/installing-squid.html <http://www.deckle.co.uk/squid-users-guide/installing-squid.html> The Linux system that I have installed uses about 350 MB of RAM. To MAXIMIZE the possible cache_dir size it looks like using a 32 Bit system would be best as this page: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory <http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory> . . . suggests that 10 MB of memory per 1 GB on disk for 32-bit Squid 14 MB of memory per 1 GB on disk for 64-bit Squid would be required. *Question 1:* If I wanted to dedicate 3 GB of the Ram to the index, would that mean that I should set my cache_dir to 3072? cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 3072 16 256 *Question 2:* Seeing how this is significantly larger that the default 100 MB should I consider increasing the size of the "*16 256*" in the above sample code? Again, Thanks for the assistance. =========== The Hardware: EeeBox PC EB1033 ==> http://www.asus.com/Eee_Box_PCs/EeeBox_PC_EB1033/#specifications <http://www.asus.com/Eee_Box_PCs/EeeBox_PC_EB1033/#specifications> 4 GB RAM NVIDIA® GeForce GT610M 512MB 750 GB HD LAN 10/100/1000 Mbps -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/cache-dir-size-v-s-available-RAM-tp4661705.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
