It is ok if you have only 1gb or 2gb free, but it is certainly not ok if it fills a free 200gb drive. Additional question is about temporary files. As previously explained, temporary files are not counted against the cache max_size limit, yet will occupy space in the same folder due to "use_temp_path=off". Consider using "use_temp_path=on" (the default) with a proxy_temp_path pointing to a different folder to test if the space is occupied by the cache or temporary files. You may also want to take a look into the error log, to see if there are any crit/alert/emerg errors. Also you may want to check what the nginx cache manager process is doing. > so what is the correct way to limit the cache size used by nginx? The "proxy_cache_path ... max_size=..." is the correct way. Though it should be understood that it doesn't limit the size of the folder, but rather instruct nginx to remove old cache items if the size of the cache is above the limit. -- Maxim Dounin http://mdounin.ru/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
