Hi gang- Phil Sorber referred me to this list.

We are setting up clusters of Apache Traffic Server to beef up the front end of 
our image services which are... large in terms of volume... to say the least.
We hope to be the big users of ATS and be a strong reference customer- so any 
help with is appreciated!
Our first test cluster consistes of 23 machines, ubuntu12.04, Intel(R) 2x 
Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz, 128G ram, 95T disk

Here is our query:

We are setting records.config as: CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.size INT 
64G

But we find that trafficserver ignores this limit and grows at the default rate 
of 1MB RAM / 1GB disk.

Example of a current process:

traffic_line -r proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.size returns 68,719,476,736
Which is about 64GB- correct!

But looking at the process:

86050 nobody    20   0  108g 102g 4912 S   54 81.3   1523:33 
/ebay/local/trafficserver/bin/traffic_server -M --httpport 80:fd=7

So basically we've set the process to only consume 64GB but its consuming 
108GB...

Does anyone have any ideas on why this happens or a way to fix it?
We want to have constrained RAM but tons of disk- we'd much rather have the 
cache serve from disk then start swapping RAM

Thanks in advance,

Steve
