Re: [plug] Memory Overflow

I allocated 8 Gb of Cache_disk and made it dedicated. as i run top these are the results     8:44am  up 19:12,  1 user,  load average: 1.45, 1.19, 1.07 25 processes: 24 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states:  0.0% user,  1.1% system,  0.0% nice, 98.8% idle Mem:  257788K av, 255728K used,   2060K free,   3412K shrd, 209712K buff Swap: 263144K av,  71372K used, 191772K free                 20828K cached     PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND   535 squid      9   0 69944 3308  2976 D       0  0.7  1.2   4:50 squid     5 root       2   0     0    0     0 SW      0  0.1  0.0   0:52 kswapd  1042 markcism  12   0   460  408   328 R       0  0.1  0.1   0:00 top     1 root       0   0    72    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:04 init     2 root       0   0     0    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 kflushd     3 root       0   0     0    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 kupdate     4 root       0   0     0    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 kpiod     6 root     -20 -20     0    0     0 SW<     0  0.0  0.0   0:00 mdrecoveryd   313 root       0   0    96    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 syslogd   324 root       0   0   364    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 klogd   340 daemon     0   0    80    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 atd   356 root       0   0    96    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 crond   372 root       1   0    72    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 inetd   408 root       0   0    72    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 gpm   434 root       0   0    64    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 mingetty   435 root       0   0    64    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 mingetty   436 root       0   0    64    0     0 SW      0  0.0  0.0   0:00 mingetty      ----- Original Message ----- From: fooler To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 9:33 PM Subject: Re: [plug] Memory Overflow Mark Hernandez wrote: It's been the third time I rebooted my Proxy server since last Thursday, coz of it's very slow service I used TOP to determine the memory usage. It filled up my 256 Mb memory and overflowed to 140/256 Mb of swap space.cache_mem in the squid.conf is 64 Mb.I have more than 150 users using this Proxy server. Question:1.) How could I determine memory usage other than TOP?2.) Why does this Server used up a lot of memory? Is squid related to the matter?3.) How could I prevent this "memory overflow" from happening again?  1. how big is your cache_disk? 2. what processes are running aside from squid?   fooler.
