Dear List,
We were running this:
htcacheclean -n -t -i -d720 -p /var/httpd/proxy -l 20480M
But we found it:
1. Takes ~100MB of virtual memory to run
2. Doesn't have logic (documented) to what's being deleted
3. Takes many hours to run even when not deleting anything (even without the
-n switch)
4. On our website which has hundreds of thousands of pages getting cached, the
biggest our cache has grown is 9 GB, which isn't
very much. So for us (and I'd imagine most people), htcacheclean usually
doesn't end up cleaning anything.
So instead we're considering switching to using the below command once a day
which will delete all files and directories older than
15 days. If no deletions (Which is usually the case), the command seems to
traverse all the directories in under a minute.
find /var/httpd/proxy/* -mtime +15 -exec rm -rf {} \;
We just don't want it growing astronomically big, like 100GB. It would seem we
could do this by simply removing the files which
haven't been modified for 30 days. (Using atime would be better except we've
disabled it on our file system because it's such a
performance suck.)
Is this solution a bad idea?
Thanks,
Geoff
