actually ..i wanted to procure more ram. but someone just said that it doesn't allow more than 2 gig. thats why i wanted to confirm. right now i am on a 2 gig machine. but want to run memcached with 4 gigs of ram thanks On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 12:31 PM, Dustin wrote: > > > On Mar 19, 11:44 pm

Well if the machine had 4gb of ram, I wouldn't use 4096 for the -m option. As I am sure that the OS and other bits are probably using some memory there. I'd do 3800 or something, but depends on what else is being used on that server. On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 4:05 PM, Sudipta Banerjee < sudipta.ba

it has 8 gigs of ram and its 64 bit its going to be dedicated to memcached thanks sudipta On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 12:38 PM, Clint Webb wrote: > Well if the machine had 4gb of ram, I wouldn't use 4096 for the -m option. > As I am sure that the OS and other bits are probably using some memory >

By the way, has anyone already tried to quantify in a *more scientific* manner the actual extra memory we should let on a box to be sure memcached won't swap ? I guess memcached related overhead should be proportional to the expected number of connection and their traffic. I guess this is about t

It's at least "a couple megs". It depends on how many parallel connections you have, and the typical size of your read buffers. If you do a lot of large multi-gets, you'll use more ram than otherwise. Future releases will probably track this memory more closely? It's not hard to do. -Dormando On
