Actually I joined this google group to ask the same thing, and found this
thread.
I start memcached on a CentOS 64 bit server with 8 GB of RAM, with the
following settings:
memcached -d -m 96 -n 10 -c 4096 -f 1.05 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211
Yet, the memcached on my server has just about 2,600 keys, and seeing the
actual number of bytes stores including the characters needed to store keys
+ their values, it is 632,817. Which I understand is about 0.60 MB, right?
What am I missing?
If I manually try to add keys, and I wrote a PHP program using the memcache
library to add 6,000 keys, the keys do NOT get added, and also the "$status
["evictions"]" remains at 0. So I'm not sure why the server is stopping at
circa 2,600 mark.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
