Re: Increasing Ram in Squid 2.1 patch2 on redhat linux 5.2

[Tim Thornley]

You are best to check the Redhat FAQ but you need to edit /etc/lilo.conf and add the line append="mem=256M" then run lilo and re-boot. Once you have made the changes and rebooted use top or free to check that linux knows about all of your memory. (I would make sure that your memory is detected when the system does a memory check before booting prior to making any of these changes to avoid creating any problems for yourself.)

Your lilo.conf should look a bit like ..

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=30
append="mem=256M"
image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
        label=old
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only


You may want to change the memory limits in your squid,conf file but do not need to. It depends if you want squid or linux to manage the memory and how much free memory you have.

Hi,

            Could anyone tell me how do I increase my ram from
    128 mb to 256 mb on my system running squid 2.1 patch2
    on P-II 300.Do I just pop the ram on the board and that' it.
    Do I still need to configure the swap? Will Squid detect
    the increase in ram automatically or do I have to change
    some configurations.
