Re: [squid-users] Regarding memory utilization

Hi Mark Elsen

Thanks for your reply. my cache dir size is 50GB and my RAM is 3GB. is this
sufficient ?

i am using fedora core 2 .

also i install malloc for batter performance of memory utilization .

But the problem still exists.

please see my configuration. if any this wrong ...

       # gzip -dc malloc.tar.gz | tar xf -
       #cd malloc
       # make
       #cp libmalloc.a /usr/lib/libgnumalloc.a
       #cp malloc.h /usr/include/gnumalloc.h
after install malloc I compile squid again

       compile Squid

       # ./configure ...
       # make
        # make install
and my squid configuration is

#cat squid.conf | egrep -v '^#([^#]|$)' | uniq | sed -e 's/##/#/'
