[squid-users] Virtual Memory

Hello,

I�m running squid 2.5 STABLE 11 on DELL Poweredge 800

- Kernel 2.6.16-13 64bits EMT64
- 1 HD SCSI 10.000 rpm 73gb for cache_dir (splited in two partitions)

with configure line:

--build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
--target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin
--sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var
--sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --exec_prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/sbin
--libexecdir=/usr/lib64/squid --localstatedir=/var
--sysconfdir=/etc/squid --enable-poll --enable-snmp
--enable-removal-policies=heap,lru

--enable-cachemgr-hostname=localhost --disable-ident-lookups
--enable-truncate --enable-underscores --datadir=/usr/share
--with-maxfd=4096 --enable-async-io --enable-dlmalloc

i�m running squid with heap replacement policies (LFUDA for cache and
GDSF for memory)

cache_mem 384 MB
maximum_object_size 50 MB
minimum_object_size 0 KB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 128 KB

cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid1 30720 32 512
cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid2 30720 32 512
memory_pools off

When squid process reaches +- 1270000 of VSZ. and +- 900MB of RSS it�s
die with this message:

squid receives +- 30 req/s, and 200 users simultaneous...

the server has 2.5 G of memory..

the consumption of memory without squid is about 600 MB..

i tried to compile squid with --disable-dlmalloc but squid crash more
"faster"... (2 in 2 hours)..

now, ps auwx show

USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
squid 903 2.8 38.2 1218264 981428 ? Sl 00:02 17:20 (squid) -D -s

on the last week this server was with 1GB of ram... and occur the same
error.. i install more 1.5GB of ram.. but.. the problem continues..

sysctl kernel parms:

kernel.msgmnb = 16384
kernel.msgmni = 64
kernel.msgmax = 8192
fs.file-max = 65534
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096

somebody can say me what�s happening ?

Regards !!!
