Sorry for the bump, but I think this behavior is intentional. Polipo tries to write out entries from memory to disk every now and then until it hits the chunkLowMark in memory usage. You can tune how aggressively it does so by playing with the optoins maxObjectsWhenIdle and maxWriteoutWhenIdle. And of course, you can also make it flush less by rasing the chunkLowMark, so it is willing to hold more in RAM for long periods of time.
I highly reccomend checking polipo's info pages (use the command "info polipo" without the quotes) for a much better explaination, as well as much more information on many other options. However, I do find it strange that is says "Discarded all objects". Either that is just a bad log message, or it is indeed flushing out the whole RAM cache too often. (I'm pretty certain that these discarded entries go to the disk cache when this happens) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055418 Title: polipo constantly clears out the cache To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/polipo/+bug/1055418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
