Hi,

I notice that squid's rock storage uses large (and fixed) amount of shared memory even if it is not accessed. It's estimated as 110byte/slot, so for a 256GB rock storage with 16KB slot, the memory requirement is about 1.7GB, which is quite large.

So my questions are:

1. Is there a way to reduce memory usage of rock storage?

2. On Linux squid puts its shared memory in /dev/shm, which can be backed by swap partition/file. Is it a good idea to use swap partition/file with rock storage to save some physical memory?

3. For rock storage, are /dev/shm/squid* frequently and randomly written? If the Linux swap is on SSD, will this causes performance/lifetime issues?

Regards,

Duan Yao
