squid advice pls
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
