Hey, Unless I have a missunderstanding...
You can tune the multiplier for the slab class to get the classes to be roughly within your ideal range, if they're not already. You can verify this via the 'stats slabs' command. You're probably fine just tuning it to be within close range, but not necessarily exactly specifying. On startup memcached will allocate at least one slab per slab class (1MB each). Then new slabs are allocated out of memory as necessary. So if you have hardly anything in a range of slab classes, at most you "waste" a few megabytes of memory. Memcached will allocate more slabs for slab classes which it run out of space. -Dormando Sharon Horsewood wrote: > We are new to memcached.
