2 The number of file descriptors is set in the systemd unit file. By default this is 16384, as you can see in /usr/lib/systemd/system/squid.service. To override this, create a locally overriding /etc/systemd/system/squid.service which changes the amount of file descriptors. It should look something like this: .include /usr/lib/systemd/system/squid.service [Service] LimitNOFILE=65536 Do not edit the default file /usr/lib/systemd/system/squid.service, as it will be restored whenever the package is updated. That is why we put it in a local file to override defaults. After creating this file, tell systemd about it: systemctl daemon-reload and then restart squid. systemctl restart squid Eliezer From: NgTech LTD <ngtech1...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2021 6:11 PM To: Marcio B. <marcioba...@gmail.com> Cc: Squid Users <squid-users@lists.squid-cache.org> Subject: Re: [squid-users] Squid performance issues Hey Marcio, You will need to add a systemd service file that extends the current one with more FileDescriptors. I cannot guide now I do hope to be able to write later. If anyone is able to help faster go ahead. Eliezer בתאריך יום ג׳, 31 באוג׳ 2021, 18:05, מאת Marcio B. <marcioba...@gmail.com <mailto:marcioba...@gmail.com> >: Hi, I implemented a Squid server in version 4.6 on Debian and tested it for about 40 days. However I put it into production today and Internet browsing was extremely slow. In /var/log/syslog I'm getting the following messages: Aug 31 11:29:19 srvproxy squid[4041]: WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors Aug 31 11:29:35 srvproxy squid[4041]: WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors Aug 31 11:29:51 srvproxy squid[4041]: WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors I searched the Internet, but I only found very old information and referring files that don't exist on my Squid Server. The only thing I did was add the following value to the /etc/security/limits.conf file: *-nofile 65535 however this did not solve. Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this problem?
