Hi Everybody
I have recompiled Squid the way i saw in one of the how to. this is what i did
1)I uninstalled Squid
2)
#ulimit -HSn 8192
#then recompiled squid with --with-maxfd=8192
then in my starting squid script i have added ulimit -HSn 8192
But still it shows the same number of file descriptors
File descriptor usage for squid:
Maximum number of file descriptors: 1024
Largest file desc currently in use: 939
Number of file desc currently in use: 929
Files queued for open: 1
Available number of file descriptors: 94
Reserved number of file descriptors: 100
Store Disk files open: 19
IO loop method: kqueue
There is something fishy about it coz my cache is only 1.1G . and
moreover there is a file squid.core in my /etc/squid and i do not
understand its porpose. i searched for it online but still i did
understand it. Is my squidclient giving me stale results. I had even
cleaned the cache before reinstalling squid. Is there some different
way to increase the file descriptors in OpenBSD. Kindly Help.
Hi Preetish,
On a Linux box, that should have worked right away. I assume that they
should also work for BSD boxes too. By the way, as Henrik mentioned, did
you verify the binary run /path/to/sbin/squid -v
What do you get when you issue the following 2 commands:
limits
and
ulimit -n
On your OpenBSD machine, I was wondering why your file descriptors is
only 1024 in the first place.
On BSD systems, I think increasing the following sysctl tunables might
help in general for a busy machine:
kern.maxfiles
kern.maxfilesperproc
Set those values to say 8192 or higher and save it in either your
/boot/loader.conf or /etc/sysctl.conf in case of a reboot.
Hope it helps.
Thanking you...
