Hi,
On an Intel i3 system with 4GB RAM, we noticed that squid is using up all the memory without any limit. Using the binary that came with CentOS 5.8 Final, rather than compiling from source. Does it have any memory leak issues? Enabling memory pools has made not much difference. Disabled SquidGuard and not much load on the server either due to squid or due to other processes. Load increases only when it uses up almost all the memory, but it is not using swap space even then. Caching DNS server set up and runs on the same system.
Here are related settings: cache_mem 128MB maximum_Object_size_in_memory 100 KB memory_replacement_policy heap GDSF cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA # /c1 and /c2 are ext3 FS of 20GB each cache_dir aufs /c1 10240 64 256 cache_dir aufs /c2 10240 64 256 store_dir_select_algorithm least-load minimum_object_size 0 KB maximum_object_size 8 MB memory_pools on memory_pools_limit 512 MB cache_swap_low 85 cache_swap_high 90 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 quick_abort_min 0 KB quick_abort_max 0 KB negative_ttl 2 minutes half_closed_clients off buffered_logs on client_db off log_icp_queries off delay_pools 0 --------- Please advice on what could be the problem.
