Hi, these are my findings: squid process size(seen from Unix TOP) will increase slowly from a restart till it exceeds 900M, at which it will restart again due to xmalloc error. All within a period of 10 to 15 min during peak hours.
The Total Accounted Memory (seen from cachemgr) always shows about 60-70% of the size of the squid process, i.e. when squid process is at 500M, Total Accounted Memory is about 350M. This ratio is maintained throughout the squid process lifetime. One thing peculiar is that under Memory usage for squid via mallinfo(): the total in use is always 100%. >From Memory Utilization->In Use->KB column, the top 3 are: StoreEntry 356131 MD5 digest 118711 mem_node 65677 Thanks. --- Tay Teck Wee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- Robert Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Mon, 2003-10-06 at 15:56, Tay Teck Wee wrote: > > > Hi Henrik, > > > > > > I've recompiled the kernel (linux-2.4.22) using > a > > > memory model for 1-4 GB physical ram.
