Folks,
I had this weird behavior with squid on a RH9 server using kernel
2.4.22 , 2Gb of memory (the server was DL380 G3 from Compaq/HP), the
swap usage was slowly growing forever and I even
try disabling it with no harms , but I didn't want do it ...why ? It
shouldn't swap !
My squid is set behind a apache + mod_proxy as a web accelerator
caching requests for other sites in a reverse proxy configuration. It
is very busy ( ~ 160 reqs/s ) .
10 days ago I upgrade to kernel 2.6.6, guess what ..... NO swap usage anymore !
All the memory is allocated, but ~50 % of it is cached .
Upgrading the kernel on my squid servers went pretty good for me so far ...
regards
Bruno Marcondes
