[squid-users] Memory Issue
Hi, I have 4GB memory in my machine . The machine is four Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU - 1.60GHz processors box. The bios correctly shows 4GB memory. Initially the machine had Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 on it and the machine showed all 4GB memory . Now I have reinstalled the OS to FC6 . But now machine shows *only 3 GB memory*. We have tried recompiling the linux kernel with following options but still it didnt show all the available memory (4GB) Method :1 CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y Method : 2 CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y We have also tried passing boot option mem=4096M to the kernel without any luck. What it could be the reason? How to fix this issue? Thanks in advance, Sekar

Pretty much off topic for squid-user, better to post in fedora mailing list :PTry to boot your machine with some livecd and see if its show you all available ram? Or Try some decent linux distro :) Thanks.

[squid-users] Memory issue
All, My machine (Pentium III with 256 MB RAM and 20 GB of HDD) run Squid 2.5S4 + RH 9 (kernel 2.4.22). System run very good until I added a text file (url_regex) blocking sites. The file contain around 70.000 lines of blocked urls. The performance instantly drop after I run the Squid. I found that system very aggressively using swap in HDD. Squid used memory up to 388 MB that much more than physical RAM I have. I suspect that there is no room of physical RAM for kernel and driver that cause performance drop. My other machine run Squid 2.4S7 with RH 6.2 run very well even I put the same file to block sites. I set vm.freepages to reserve physical RAM for kernel and driver. Unfortunately, I cannot find it in kernel 2.4.x. Would you tell me how I can reserve RAM for kernel and driver? Is it another way (instead vm.freepages) to do it? Your answer is very appreciated and waited for. Thx Rgds, Awie
