RE: Rebuilding storage

I suppose i find out where is my problem, i have 64Mb of RAM, and the squid
process takes about 60MB. And than my linux box is slowing down. I cannot
even work normaly. I understand that swap is out of space. But this problem
shows only up yesterday , when i installed socks5 server, but i think that
socks5 server is not responsible for this, cause i did not change any
squid.conf parameters. So i do not know what to change. I reduce cache_mem,
cache_object_size, but anyway suid takes up all the swap space, what to do,
how can i reduce squid, to use so much swap space.
Thnx
John

It means that Squid is rebuilding the cache contents index - you don't
need to do anything, as th eprocess is automatic. This will generally only
be necessary if Squid is killed without a chance to write out a clean
index file.

Under normal conditions Squid shouldn't slow down just because the cache
is filling up.
