Hi all, I have a Dell 1650 with 2 gig of ram, 2 x 36 gig scsi drives....
Can anyone point me at or suggest good staring points for the squid configuration pls? Worthwhile tweaks to Debian to get the most out of it? I need to build this box on Monday so I am starting from a clean slate, For Disk configuration I was thinking of something like this, Mirrored disks, so 1 x 33.6 gig as sda, Sda1 100 /boot Sda2 20000 /cache Sda3 1000 swap Sda5 10000 /var (I need to log) Sda6 3000 / Squid mem cache_mem = 256M Last time I built a squid server with 1 gig or ram it got upset on a cache_mem of over 192M, it basically started to swap heavily and game over. Now I have 2 gig so I am pondering a decent starting point, too much and I am dead.... ;] I also have noticed that memory use seems to creep up over time, after say 1 ~ 2 weeks of hard use, Squid just seems to gradually take more and more RAM until its exhausted and a restart is needed... Something I need to configure or a bug? Suggestions and comments appreciated! regards Thing
