Re: [squid-users] Cache Size Limitation

32-bit Architecture. What would you suggest cache_mem to be on a system
with 1 gig of ram?

What would you suggest as a maximum_object_size ??

The filesystem is 40gig.

What do you mean by, "if the filesystem usage gets too big" ??

Regards,

what architecture? 32bit architectures usually do not support that much
RAM for one process.

That's 1GB - too much imho

and nearly 4GB on filesystem. What's the filesystem size?
squid cache size should be maximally 90% of the silesystem's size, if the
filesystem usage gets too big, the system load will get too high.
