Dear community,

I am running squid3 on Linux Debian squeeze.(3.1.6).

I encounter a suddenly a high memory usage on my virtual machine don't
really know why.
Looking at the cacti memory graph is showing a memory jump from 1.5 Gb
to 4GB and then ther server started to swap.

For information the virtual machine has 4Gb of RAM.

Here is the settings of squid.conf :

cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid3 100 16 256
cache_mem 100 MB

hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?
refresh_pattern ^ftp:           1440    20%     10080
refresh_pattern ^gopher:        1440    0%      1440
refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0     0%      0
refresh_pattern .               0       20%     4320


my squid3 process is using: 81% of my RAM. So arround 3,2Gb of memory.

proxy    25889  0.6 81.1 3937744 3299616 ?     S    Aug02   9:34
(squid) -YC -f /etc/squid3/squid.conf

I am currently having arround 50 users using it.


I did have a look at the FAQ
(http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory#how-much-ram), but I
didn't find any tips for my situation in it.


Have you got any idea ? How can I troubleshoot this ?

Thanks !
