Hi, I'm running varnish inside an openvz's container.
Recently, I started to see problems with varnish using all available memory. It began to happen when we started delivering bigger files: videos (10 to 50MB). Inside a virtual machine having a total 4GB of virtual memory, varnish will eat all memory in less than one hour, at 20-30 req/s. When all memory is used by varnishd, it stops to deliver content. No more process can fork, the only solution is to kill varnishd from outside the VM.. I use version 1.1.2 and tried 2.0-tp2 with similar result. I tested with a malloc and file storage, same result again. I (think I) understand the varnish's design, but should varnish eat ALL the memory like that ?
