I recall seeing on the mailing list before a reason why Varnish would use more RAM than allocated due to storing something outside of the defined allocated memory.
For example, I have a box that is allocated 6G of RAM, but it is using about 12G virtual memory. >top 9101 nobody 20 0 11.7g 6.8g 81m S 6.0 88.5 1270:21 varnishd Varnish is invoked via: /usr/local/sbin/varnishd -f /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,6G -T xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2000 -a :80 Does anyone know what I am talking about? Thanks, Travis
