Obviously no > such problem with amd64? on amd64 when maxdsiz not set it stops at 512 limit but soon you set it to 1G it appearently is able to use more this is not the case on i386 - but I would say don't worry about it on i386 your machine could hang at boot when setting maxdsiz higher than installed physical memory but that never happened to me with amd64 I have some server running squid for caching perfect with 4, 8 and 16G of RAM I set maxdsiz do 3G on machines with 4Gigs of RAM but I do not run anything else so then I adjust cache_mem with maximum_object_size_in_memory to use the most possible amount of memory without doing swap. anyway you set it in boot.loader there is no need to compile something into the kernel -- João A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
