And this you call a problem?
This is terrific!
Actually, you need to know that as opposed to Solaris or Windows NT, Linux
only uses the swap space when it is out of physical RAM. You also need to
know that Linux uses all of its free space minus a small portion for its
disk cache (Windows NT, for example sets the amount of disk cache as a
precentage of the total of the physical RAM).
Considering these facts, your system is working just fine -- squid uses as
much memory as it wants, with the rest of it - the kernel makes good use by
disk caching its content (this means that even when Squid uses disk access,
some of it is cached).
Try running ktop - where you can see what I have just said visually. You
will see how much RAM goes to user apps and how much for disk cache.
Enjoy your Squid!

Original message:
Hi list.
i installed squid 2 on PII233 with 512 MB RAM and 2 9.1 scsi 10,000 RPM.
I gave the server 2 GB of swap (i did not mind to give it so much swap, i
have lots of disk space).
Now, after installing and all, i have a strange thing.
The RAM has only 3-4 MB left but the system does not use the swap at all.
The current kernel is the one that comes with RedHat6.0 - 2.2.5
Do i need to break the 2 GB partition into smaller parts ?! (how do i do
that ? i have only 4 possible partitions, no ?)
TIA
Mike
