[squid-users] (help!) strange things about maximum_object_size_in_memory in squid.conf

[Taehwan Weon]

Hi,

I am using squid 2.6.STABLE 21 on linux.
my squid.conf has the following settings:
      maximum_object_size_in_memory 10 KB
      cache_mem             3072 MB
      maximum_object_size   2000 MB
      minimum_object_size  0

After running squid for more than 1 months, I ran 'squidclient ....
mgr:vm_objects' to
look at the transit/hot object size.

Even if I SET the maximum in-memory object size to 10 KB,
squid HAD the following objects!  (the diff of inmem_lo and inmem_hi is 299KB)


KEY CD0154B911563741E3E69CDB2E2D6FF0
      GET http://images.test.com/test_data/61/99/319.jpg
      STORE_OK      IN_MEMORY     SWAPOUT_NONE PING_DONE

      Swap Dir -1, File 0XFFFFFFFF
      inmem_lo: 0
      inmem_hi: 299187
      swapout: 0 bytes queued


In Squid, The Definitive Guide published by O'Reilly,
maximum_object_size_in_memory is the diff of inmem_lo and inmem_hi.
But the real implementation is seemed to be strange.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks  in advance.
